The spatial and temporal variability of the surface turbulent heat fluxes over the North Atlantic is examined using the new objectively produced FSU3 monthly mean 1°x1° gridded wind and surface flux product for 1978-2003. The FSU3...
The largest warming over the last several decades has been observed in high latitudes. Cai (2005) proposed that part of the large amplitude climate warming in high latitudes could be explained by the "dynamical amplifier" feedback. This...
Climate shifts due to El Niño (warmer than normal ocean temperatures in the tropical Pacific Ocean) and La Niña (cooler than normal) are well known and used to predict seasonal temperature and precipitation trends up to a year in advance...
First proposed by Twomey, the aerosol first indirect effect hypothesizes that increased aerosol concentration leads to a larger number of cloud condensation nuclei, and therefore smaller but more numerous cloud droplets, which results in...
There are two objectives of the present study. The primary objective is to undertake the following research projects involving the Arctic Oscillation (AO), the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), and the Madden Julian Oscillation (MJO):...
African Easterly Waves (AEWs) are mesoscale synoptic features that form in West Africa and propagate westward. The relationship of AEWs to rainfall in the region has been examined in previous studies but no scientific consensus has been...
The varying tasks required for assimilating satellite radiance observations from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) into the initial conditions of a numerical weather prediction model are discussed. The tangent linear and adjoint...
