Seasonal Predictions of Shoreline Change, Informed by Climate Indices

Assessing The Skill And Value Of Seasonal Climate Predictions

The main driver for the large research effort devoted to developing and improving seasonal climate prediction models is the fact that El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events (quasiperiodic fluctuations in Indo-Pacific Ocean sea surface temperatures and mean sea level pressure) represent, on a global scale, the greatest source of interannual climate variability and are, to some extent, predic...

Mathematical Modelling of Shoreline Evolution under Climate Change by Anna Zacharioudaki

Robabilistic Shoreline Change Modeling

dology is developed in which a simple deterministic shoreline change model is in a probabilistic manner as one component of a quantitative coastal change assessment. The main drivers of decadal-scale shoreline change, wave climate ment supply, are varied within a range of realistic scenarios to develop over 200 e change model simulations. Through numerous SWAN wave simulations, a table is devel...

Climate change and seasonal reproduction in mammals.

Seasonal reproduction is common among mammals at all latitudes, even in the deep tropics. This paper (i) discusses the neuroendocrine pathways via which foraging conditions and predictive cues such as photoperiod enforce seasonality, (ii) considers the kinds of seasonal challenges mammals actually face in natural habitats, and (iii) uses the information thus generated to suggest how seasonal re...

Current Approaches to Seasonal-to-interannual Climate Predictions

This review paper presents an assessment of the current state of knowledge and capability in seasonal climate prediction at the end of the 20th century. The discussion covers the full range of issues involved in climate forecasting, including (1) the theory and empirical evidence for predictability; (2) predictions of surface boundary conditions, such as sea surface temperatures (SSTs) that dri...
