Decadal changes in South Pacific sea surface temperatures and the relationship to the Pacific decadal oscillation and upper ocean heat content

, 2015
Decadal changes in Pacific sea surface temperatures (SSTs) and upper ocean heat content (OHC) remain poorly understood. We present an annual average composite coral Sr/Ca-derived SST time series extending back to 1791 from Fiji, Tonga, and Rarotonga (FTR)

Tree‐Ring Oxygen Isotope Values During the Last Glacial Maximum and Insights to Future Changes in Climate

Terra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Annual tree‐ring oxygen‐isotope values were measured from sections of two fossil logs of Picea mariana (black spruce) recovered from last glacial maximum proglacial sediment in Illinois, USA. Collectively, the specimens date from ca. 25,130 to 24,720 cal years BP.

How Well Can Words Capture Facial Appearance? A Cross‐Linguistic Exploration

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract When describing faces, people often struggle with verbalizing facial features. Free descriptions seem to focus predominantly on aspects of faces that are inferred, for example, psychological traits, age, attractiveness, and so on, whereas facial features themselves are often described in a limited and imprecise fashion.

Decadal variability in seawater pH in the West Pacific: Evidence from coral delta B-11 records

, 2015
Long-term seawater pH records are essential for evaluating the rates of ocean acidification (OA) driven by anthropogenic emissions. Widespread, natural decadal variability in seawater pH superimposes on the long-term anthropogenic variations, likely ...

The Tropical Indo‐Pacific and North Atlantic Precursors for the Interannual Variation of Extreme Humid‐heat Days in the Yangtze River Basin

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract Extreme humid‐heat events pose a major hazard across the Yangtze River Basin (YRB), yet their underlying mechanisms and seasonal predictability remain insufficiently understood. Here, using observational diagnostics and coupled model experiments, we identify three independent drivers in the tropical Indo‐Pacific and subtropical North Atlantic ...

Associação da variabilidade da precipitação pluvial em Santa Maria com a Oscilação Decadal do Pacífico Linking rainfall variability in Santa Maria with the Pacific Decadal Oscillation

Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 2009
O objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar a associação da variabilidade interdecadal da chuva em Santa Maria, RS, com a Oscilação Decadal do Pacífico. Parte da variabilidade interanual da precipitação pluvial é explicada pelo fenômeno El Niño Oscilação Sul

An Evaluation of Reproducibility of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation in the CMIP3 Simulations

Journal of the Meteorological Society of Japan. Ser. II, 2009
Reproducibility of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) is evaluated in the sea surface temperature (SST) anomaly field in "the 20th century climate in coupled models" (20C3M) simulations of the 24 CMIP3 models. In this evaluation, we examine how well patterns of the PDO match between the observations and simulations by calculating a metric of the ...

Advancing Toward Gray Zone: Evaluation of Tropical Cyclones in Key Basins With the 12.5 km High Resolution CAS FGOALS‐f3 Model

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract State‐of‐the‐art climate models are approaching gray‐zone resolutions that can improve the representation of tropical cyclones (TCs), but the extent of these gains remains uncertain. This study evaluates the effect of spatial resolution, particularly near the gray‐zone, using three resolution configurations of the Chinese Academy of Sciences ...
