Our evolving climate: communicating the effects of climate variability
Our evolving climate is influenced by several factors such as greenhouse gases and solar output, coupled with the inherent variability of the climate system. Natural fluctuations in climate can temporarily mask or enhance the long-term upwards trend in temperatures, and contribute to uncertainty in climate projections, especially on regional scales. Understanding and acknowledging these variati...
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 کاملCapturing climate variability during our ancestors' earliest days.
C limate’s role in shaping the environmental and evolutionary history of our earliest ancestors remains an actively debated topic. In PNAS, Magill et al. (1, 2) present records of terrestrial habitat and hydroclimate variation and pacing from Olduvai Gorge sediments during a key interval of our ancestors’ divergence and dispersal approximately 2.0 Ma. Although there is general consensus that ec...
متن کاملClimate Variability
The global climate system is composed of a number of subsystems F atmosphere, biosphere, cryosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere F each of which has a distinct characteristic time, from days and weeks to centuries and millennia. Each subsystem, moreover, has its own internal variability, all other things being constant, over a fairly broad range of time scales. These ranges overlap between one...
متن کاملEvolving Climate Networks
We propose a method to reconstruct and analyse an evolving complex network from data generated by a spatio-temporal dynamical system. We study reanalysis surface air temperature data by different complex network measures. This approach reveals a rich internal structure in complex climate networks and allows to study the stability of the climate network and the impacts of teleconnections (e.g., ...
