The large-scale atmospheric circulation affects the Arctic Ocean's freshwater fluxes in at least three ways. First, the circulation controls the direct fluxes of precipitation (P) and evaporation (E) at the Arctic Ocean's surface through the pattern of atmospheric moisture inflow and its ...
Wind directions predicted from global circulation models and wind directions determined from eolian sandstones of the western United States--A comparison. In: G. Kocurek (Editor), Late Paleozoic and Mesozoic Eolian Deposits of the Western Interior of the United States. Sediment. Geol., 56: 261-...
similarly to the behavior detected in Fig.7for El Nino3 index. This pattern is in agreement with previously found effects of ENSO on wave heights and wind speeds based on correlations with El Nino climate indices16,53. An increase
there are natural oscillations in Earth’s climate that alter global patterns of wind circulation,precipitation, and surface temperatures. One such phenomenon is theEl Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO), a coupled atmospheric and oceanic event that occurs in thePacific Oceanevery three to seven years...
hindered by several uncertainties, including in future changes to wind and precipitation patterns11,16, the effect of CO2 fertilization on desert extent14,15, the dust radiative effect in the present climate1, and the empirical nature of dust emission parameterizations in global circulation models17....
interactions between theatmosphere,oceans, ice sheets, and continentalriversthat influencethermohaline circulation(the pattern ofocean currentsdriven by differences in water density, salinity, and temperature, rather thanwind). Thermohaline circulation, in turn, controls ocean heat transport, such as the...
The large-ensemble simulations were conducted by an atmospheric global circulation model (AGCM). The AGCM used in this study is the Meteorological Research Institute AGCM, version 3.2 (MRI-AGCM3.2) with a 60 km horizontal grid spacing, which is exactly the same as MRI-AGCM3.2H listed in...
This study discovered an eastward-propagating circulation pattern in the stratosphere of the Southern Hemisphere based on the Met Office stratospheric assimilated data and the TOMS total ozone. This pattern is named the Stratospheric Antarctic Intraseasonal Oscillation (SAIO) because of its intraseasonal ti...
Weather forecasting is important for science and society. At present, the most accurate forecast system is the numerical weather prediction (NWP) method, which represents atmospheric states as discretized grids and numerically solves partial differential
