Interannual variability in the summertime hydrological cycle over European regions

Stochastic modeling of daily summertime rainfall over the southwestern U.S. Part I: interannual variability

Seasonal Cycle and Interannual Variability in the Amazon Hydrologic Cycle

An analysis of the Amazon basin hydrologic cycle has been carried out using the NASA/GEOS1 atmospheric reanalysis, observed rainfall of Xie and Arkin, and historical Amazon river discharge. Over a seasonal cycle, the precipitation is found to vary by 5 mm day 1, the runo by 2 mm day 1 while the evaporation largely remains constant. On interannual time scales, the hydrologic variability both in ...

MODIS observed seasonal and interannual variations of atmospheric conditions associated with hydrological cycle over Tibetan Plateau

[1] This paper aims to provide a prototype research of how MODIS observations can help to better understand surface and atmosphere conditions over the Tibetan Plateau. Snow melt and summer rainfall over the Tibetan Plateau provide the origin for most of the rivers in South Asia. Therefore, adequately monitoring as many components of the hydrological cycle as possible over the Tibetan Plateau ca...

Extratropical Summertime Response to Tropical Interannual Variability in an Idealized GCM

A primitive equation model is used to investigate the role of the tropics in generating seasonal-mean anomalies in the extratropics. A nudging technique is applied to guide selected tropical regions toward 40-yr EuropeanCentre forMedium-RangeWeather Forecasts (ECMWF)Re-Analysis (ERA-40) and theNational Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP)/Department of Energy Reanalysis (NCEP-2). The tim...
