Sensitivity of seasonal climate forecasts to persisted SST anomalies [PDF]

Climate Dynamics, 2002
Most estimates of the skill of atmospheric general circulation models (AGCMs) for forecasting seasonal climate anomalies have been based on simulations with actual observed sea surface temperatures (SSTs) as lower boundary forcing. Similarly estimates of the climatological response characteristics of AGCMs used for seasonal-to-interannual climate ...

Recent changes in the surface salinity of the North Atlantic subpolar gyre [PDF]

, 2002
Sea surface salinity (SSS) was measured since 1896 along 60°N between Greenland and the North Sea and since 1993 between Iceland and Newfoundland. Along 60°N away from the shelves, and north of 53°N, the amplitude of the seasonal cycle is comparable to ...

Seasonal persistence of soil moisture anomalies related to freeze–thaw over the Tibetan Plateau and prediction signal of summer precipitation in eastern China

Climate Dynamics, 2019
Soil moisture can be an effective climate prediction signal due to its long memory. This study investigated seasonal persistence of soil moisture anomalies from the preceding autumn to spring dominated by the soil freeze–thaw (FT) process over the ...

Mediterranean Sea climatic indices: monitoring long-term variability and climate changes [PDF]

Earth System Science Data, 2018
We present a new product composed of a set of thermohaline climatic indices from 1950 to 2015 for the Mediterranean Sea such as decadal temperature and salinity anomalies, their mean values over selected depths, decadal ocean heat and salt content ...

Eclipse Ice Core Accumulation and Stable Isotope Variability as an Indicator of North Pacific Climate [PDF]

, 2012
The high accumulation rate and negligible amount of melt at Eclipse Icefield (3017 m) in the Saint Elias Range of Yukon, Canada, allows for the preservation of a high-resolution isotopic and glaciochemical records valuable for reconstruction of climatic ...

Analysing and combining atmospheric general circulation model simulations forced by prescribed SST: northern extratropical response

Annals of Geophysics, 2001
The ECHAM 3.2 (T21), ECHAM 4 (T30) and LMD (version 6, grid-point resolution with 96 longitudes × 72 latitudes) atmospheric general circulation models were integrated through the period 1961 to 1993 forced with the same observed Sea Surface Temperatures (

Seasonal ecosystem vulnerability to climatic anomalies in the Mediterranean [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2021
Mediterranean ecosystems are particularly vulnerable to climate change and the associated increase in climate anomalies. This study investigates extreme ecosystem responses evoked by climatic drivers in the Mediterranean Basin for the time span 1999–2019

Potential Reemergence of Seasonal Soil Moisture Anomalies in North America

Journal of Climate, 2019
Soil moisture anomalies within the root zone (roughly, soil depths down to ~0.4 m) typically persist only a few months. Consequently, land surface–related climate predictability research has often focused on subseasonal to seasonal time scales.

Seasonal and inter-annual temperature variability in the bottom waters over the western Black Sea shelf [PDF]

, 2011
Long-term changes in the state of the Bottom Shelf Water (BSW) on the Western shelf of the Black Sea are assessed using analysis of intra-seasonal and inter-annual temperature variations.

The role of upper-ocean variations of the Kuroshio-Oyashio Extension in seasonal-to-decadal air-sea heat flux variability

npj Climate and Atmospheric Science, 2023
The Kuroshio-Oyashio Extension (KOE) is the North Pacific oceanic frontal zone where air-sea heat and moisture exchanges allow strong communication between the ocean and atmosphere.
