Abstract. A topological group H is called ω -narrow if for every neighbourhood V of it’s identity element there exists a countable set A such that V A = H = AV. A semigroup G is called a generalized group if for any x ∈ G there exists a unique element e(x) ∈ G such that xe(x) = e(x)x = x and for every x ∈ G there exists x − 1 ∈ G such that x − 1x = xx − 1 = e(x). Also le...

Sea surface temperature (SST) variability in the tropical Pacific (TP) has world-wide climate and economic influences; hence, improving its prediction is of great interest. Recent modeling studies suggested that north Atlantic can influence TP SST prediction. However, models are subject to biases both Pacific, it remains an open question whether these affect trans-basin linkages SST. To investi...
