Pacific Ocean Forcing and Atmospheric Variability are the Dominant Causes of Spatially Widespread Droughts in the Contiguous United States [PDF]
The contributions of oceanic and atmospheric variability to spatially widespread summer droughts in the contiguous United States (hereafter, pan-CONUS droughts) are investigated using 16-member ensembles of the Community Climate Model version 3 (CCM3 ...

Winter-spring cyclonic variability in the Mediterranean-Black Sea region associated with global processes in the ocean-atmosphere system [PDF]
Using global NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data set on 1000 hPa geopotential height (1948–2006), cyclones in the Mediterranean and Black Sea regions were detected and their main characteristics (frequency, depth, integrated area) were calculated.

High-frequency cyclicity in the Mediterranean Messinian evaporites: evidence for solar-lunar climate forcing [PDF]
The deposition of varved sedimentary sequences is usually controlled by climate conditions. The study of two Late Miocene evaporite successions (one halite and the other gypsum) consisting of annual varves has been carried out to reconstruct the ...

High Mountain Asia (HMA) is the headwater area for major Asian rivers, providing a vast amount of freshwater to billions of people in Asia. These rivers also make their surrounding areas highly vulnerable to destructive water‐related disasters.

Impact of observed North Atlantic multidecadal variations to European summer climate: a linear baroclinic response to surface heating [PDF]
The observed prominent multidecadal variations in the central to eastern (C--E) European summer temperature are closely related to the Atlantic multidecadal variability (AMV).

Two regimes of Atlantic multidecadal oscillation: cross-basin dependent or Atlantic-intrinsic
The Atlantic Multidedal Oscillation (AMO) is a prominent mode of sea surface temperature variability in the Atlantic and incurs significant global influence. Most coupled models failed to reproduce the observed 50-80-year AMO, but were overwhelmed by a 10-30-year AMO.

Variability of the ocean heat content during the last millennium – an assessment with the ECHO-g Model [PDF]
Studies addressing climate variability during the last millennium generally focus on variables with a direct influence on climate variability, like the fast thermal response to varying radiative forcing, or the large-scale changes in atmospheric dynamics

Increasing occurrence of cold and warm extremes during the recent global warming slowdown. [PDF]
The recent levelling of global mean temperatures after the late 1990s, the so-called global warming hiatus or slowdown, ignited a surge of scientific interest into natural global mean surface temperature variability, observed temperature biases, and ...
