Teleconnections between Monthly Rainfall Variability and Large-Scale Climate Indices in Southwestern Colombia [PDF]

Water (Switzerland), 2020
Given that the analysis of past monthly rainfall variability is highly relevant for the adequate management of water resources, the relationship between the climate-oceanographic indices, and the variability of monthly rainfall in Southwestern Colombia at different time scales was chosen as the research topic.

On the connection between large-scale climate indices and rainfall variability in Iraq

Dynamics of Atmospheres and Oceans
This study investigates the teleconnection between climate indices and rainfall variability in Iraq to identify the factors influencing rainfall variability. The correlation between seven climate indices and rainfall variability across eight Iraqi cities was analyzed for the period 1951-2020, with a focus on January, the month with the highest amount ...

Multi-decadal drought variability in the Eastern Mediterranean and its connection to large-scale climate indices

Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies
Study region: Israel, with analysis extending to the Eastern Mediterranean, Europe, and Western Asia. Study focus: While traditional agricultural drought indices rely on precipitation and evaporation data, soil-moisture-based indicators may better ...

Why large-scale climate indices seem to predict ecological processes better than local weather

Nature, 2004
Large-scale climatic indices such as the North Atlantic Oscillation are associated with population dynamics, variation in demographic rates and values of phenotypic traits in many species. Paradoxically, these large-scale indices can seem to be better predictors of ecological processes than local climate.

Hydrological alteration of the upper Yangtze River and its possible links with large-scale climate indices

Hydrology Research, 2019
Abstract The relationship between hydrological alteration and climate variability in the upper Yangtze River is not fully understood. In this paper, the periodicity features and the intercorrelation of annual and seasonal eco-flow metrics at the Yichang gauge station are analyzed for the period 1882 to 2013.

Global Fire Forecasts Using Both Large‐Scale Climate Indices and Local Meteorological Parameters

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, 2019
AbstractFire forecasts that predict dry‐season fire activities several months in advance are beneficial for fire management. On a global scale, however, the predictability of fires is limited because fires depend on multiple factors and lack a single dominant predictor to describe diverse fire characteristics across regions.

Large-scale and regional climatic influences on surface temperature and precipitation in the South Shetland Islands, northern Antarctic Peninsula [PDF]

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2023
Using data from SCAR observations, ERA5 reanalysis, and regional climate model simulations (RACMO), we examined the influence of large- and regional-scale climate forcing on temperature and precipitation variations in the South Shetland Islands (SSI ...

Assessment of Quarterly, Semiannual and Annual Models to Forecast Monthly Rainfall Anomalies: The Case of a Tropical Andean Basin

Atmosphere, 2022
Rainfall forecasting is essential to manage water resources and make timely decisions to mitigate adverse effects related to unexpected events. Considering that rainfall drivers can change throughout the year, one approach to implementing forecasting ...

Indicators of Global Climate Change 2022: Annual update of large-scale indicators of the state of the climate system and the human influence 

Earth System Science Data, 2023
Abstract. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assessments are the trusted source of scientific evidence for climate negotiations taking place under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), including the first global stocktake under the Paris Agreement that will conclude at COP28 in December 2023.
