describe trends toward weaker equatorial Pacific zonal gradients of SST and SLP, although again, the physical processes of the long-term El Niño-like model projections differ to some extent from those of seasonal-to-interannual El Niño events.) In contrast, most climate model simulations over...
April is typically the start of the snowmelt season, offering better expectations for late spring and summer hydro output. "A weak disturbance moves through the Southern portion of the region Friday bringing some cumulus builds ups and possibly isolated showers over the Southern Sierra in the ...
(as, for example, the record-high summer temperatures in western Europe and unusually heavy spring rains in the centralUnited Statesin 1982–83). The ENSO event of 1997–98 was associated with winter temperatures well above average in much of the United States. The ENSO phenomenon appears to ...
my plan is to plant a 7' tree in the spring (if I go through with it) so not sure if one summer's growth and root development on such a big tree would qualify as well established or not. Either way, I wouldn't leave it to mother nature and would definitely want to provide some...

In spring, when the northeast trades prevail, the AAC and Northwest Pacific cooling are coupled via wind–evaporation–SST feedback. The Northwest Pacific cooling persists to trigger a summer feedback that arises from the interaction of the AAC and North Indian Ocean warming, enabled by the west...
Sharing bits and pieces of our life from the Pacific Northwest as we adventure through its ups, downs, and everything in between.
However, the subsurface ocean temperature has only been used with short lead times of 3 months or less for Indian Summer Monsoon rain15 and seasonal Atlantic hurricane activity16. Here, we show a step change in the forecast lead time of an atmospheric phenomenon, landfalling TCs, to 1 year ...
The Western North Pacific Subtropical High (WNPSH) regulates East Asian climate in summer. Anomalous WNPSH causes floods, droughts and heat waves in China, Japan and Korea. The potential change of the WNPSH under global warming is concerned by Asian people, but whether the WNPSH would be enh...
