Principal nonlinear dynamical modes of climate variability
We suggest a new nonlinear expansion of space-distributed observational time series. The expansion allows constructing principal nonlinear manifolds holding essential part of observed variability. It yields low-dimensional hidden time series interpreted as internal modes driving observed multivariate dynamics as well as their mapping to a geographic grid. Bayesian optimality is used for selecti...
متن کاملProjection of Climate Change onto Modes of Atmospheric Variability
Two possible interpretations of forced climate change view it as projecting, either linearly or nonlinearly, onto the dominant modes of variability of the climate system. An evaluation of these two interpretations is performed using annual mean sea level pressure (SLP) and surface air temperature (SAT) fields obtained from integrations of the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory coupled genera...
متن کاملEddies and the annular modes of climate variability
The dominant modes of month-to-month variation in the troposphere are realistically simulated in a general circulation model whose lower boundary is prescribed with realistic topography and seasonally varying, climatological sea surface temperatures. In both hemispheres, these internal modes describe a nearly zonally symmetric, NorthSouth shifting of the zonal jets as anomalous westerlies vacil...
متن کاملSeasonally Evolving Dominant Interannual Variability Modes of East Asian Climate*
A season-reliant empirical orthogonal function (S-EOF) analysis is applied to seasonal mean precipitation over East Asia for the period of 1979–2004. The first two dominant modes account for 44% of the total interannual variance, corresponding to post-ENSO and ENSO turnabout years, respectively. The first mode indicates that in El Niño decaying summer, an anomalous anticyclone appears over the ...
متن کاملImproved tropical modes of variability in the NCEP Climate Forecast
A new stochastic multi-cloud model (SMCM) convective parametrization, which mimics the interactions at sub-grid scales of multiple cloud types, is incorporated into the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Climate Forecast System version 2 (CFSv2) model (referred to as CFSsmcm hereafter) in lieu of the pre-existing simplified Arakawa-Schubert (SAS) cumulus scheme. A detailed ana...
