El Niño‐Southern Oscillation‐related ocean‐atmosphere coupling in the western equatorial Pacific
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 1998 Using 43 years of Comprehensive Ocean‐Atmosphere Data Set and related data for the period 1950–1992, an examination is made into the regional dependence of ocean‐atmosphere coupling in relation to the El Niño‐Southern Oscillation (ENSO). The cross correlation between sea surface temperature (SST) and sea level pressure (SLP) anomalies over the global ...

RESTLESS BANDIT MARGINAL PRODUCTIVITY INDICES I: SINGLEPROJECT CASE AND OPTIMAL CONTROL OF A MAKE-TO-STOCK M/G/1 QUEUE [PDF]
This paper develops a framework based on convex optimization and economic ideas to formulate and solve by an index policy the problem of optimal dynamic effort allocation to a generic discrete-state restless bandit (i.e. binary-action: work/rest) project,

Links between hail hazard and climate modes of variability across Australia
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Climate modes of variability influence hail‐prone atmospheric conditions, but links between these drivers and hail hazard across Australia have not been well constrained. We examine relationships between the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), and Southern Annular Mode (SAM) and proxy‐derived hail‐prone days across the ...

Restless bandits, partial conservation laws and indexability [PDF]
We show that if performance measures in a stochastic scheduling problem satisfy a set of so-called partial conservation laws (PCL), which extend previously studied generalized conservation laws (GCL), then the problem is solved optimally by a priority ...

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.The variation of rainfall and its diurnal cycle with the Madden–Julian oscillation over coastal regions of NE Australia exhibit both large‐scale and local‐scale influences. The widespread increased rainfall is driven by large‐scale forcings, while the local enhanced rainfall is likely affected by mesoscale coastal processes. The variation of convective
