Linking monsoon systems across timescales

Unravelling cross-recurrence: coupling across timescales

We present an extension of cross-recurrence analysis for dual gaze analysis which is suited for complex situations where for instance the objects of interest are not all visible at all times or when stimulus exploration is not homogeneous. The typicical situation is a visual stimulus that is scrolled or that is explored sequentially. We use a recurrence simulation to illustrate how to measure t...

Max-weight scheduling across multiple timescales

The American Monsoon Systems

This paper examines similarities and differences among major features of the North and South American monsoon systems. Over both North and South America the summertime circulation shows upper-level anticyclone/low-level heat low structures. These develop at different distances from the equator. It is argued that ascent to the east where subtropical convergence zones develop, and subsidence over...

Northward extent of East Asian monsoon covaries with intensity on orbital and millennial timescales.

The magnitude, rate, and extent of past and future East Asian monsoon (EAM) rainfall fluctuations remain unresolved. Here, late Pleistocene-Holocene EAM rainfall intensity is reconstructed using a well-dated northeastern China closed-basin lake area record located at the modern northwestern fringe of the EAM. The EAM intensity and northern extent alternated rapidly between wet and dry periods o...

Validating Computational Cognitive Process Models across Multiple Timescales

Model comparison is vital to evaluating progress in the fields of artificial general intelligence (AGI) and cognitive architecture. As they mature, AGI and cognitive architectures will become increasingly capable of providing a single model that completes a multitude of tasks, some of which the model was not specifically engineered to perform. These models will be expected to operate for extend...
