Near-global 48 3 48 gridded analysis of marine sea level pressure (SLP) from the Comprehensive Ocean– Atmosphere Data Set for monthly averages from 1854 to 1992 was produced along with its estimated error using a reduced space optimal interpolation method. A novel procedure of covariance adjustment brought the results of the analysis to the consistency with the a priori assumptions on the signa...

The nature and causes of the recent increase in North Atlantic wave heights are explored by combining a numerical hindcast with a statistical analysis. The numerical hindcast incorporates a 10-yr history (1980–89) of North Atlantic, twice daily wind analyses to generate a monthly averaged significant wave height (SWH) history. The hindcast compares favorably with published monthly averaged SWH ...

Two possible interpretations of forced climate change view it as projecting, either linearly or nonlinearly, onto the dominant modes of variability of the climate system. An evaluation of these two interpretations is performed using annual mean sea level pressure (SLP) and surface air temperature (SAT) fields obtained from integrations of the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory coupled genera...

The sea ice motion, area export, and deformation of the Ross Sea ice cover are examined with satellite passive microwave and RADARSAT observations. The record of high-resolution synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data, from 1998 and 2000, allows the estimation of the variability of ice deformation at the small scale ( 10 km) and to assess the quality of the longer record of passive microwave ice mo...

Remote sensing data provided the major contribution to the sea surface temperature (SST) field analysis during last several decades. Climate variability of the SST in Northern Atlantic is investigated by using an empirical orthogonal function (EOF) and fuzzy classification techniques. The leading EOF of the wintertime sea-level pressure (SLP) field is more strongly coupled to the surface atmosp...

introduction: rainfall is affected by changes in the global sea level change, especially changes in sea surface temperature sst sea surface temperature and sea level pressure slp sea level pressure. climate anomalies being related to each other at large distance is called teleconnection. as physical relationships between rainfall and teleconnection patterns are not defined clearly, we used inte...

Abstract Improvements in the seasonal prediction system Scale Interaction Experiment‐Frontier version 2 (SINTEX‐F2) achieved via atmospheric initialisation were evaluated using hindcast experiments. The was implemented an nudging scheme. skill of SINTEX‐F2 with and without (new original systems) for nine climate indices that represent interannual variability against observational data. It found...

This study examines the linkages between leading patterns of interannual sea level pressure (SLP) variability over the extratropical Pacific (208–608N) and the eastern Pacific (EP) and central Pacific (CP) types of El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO). The first empirical orthogonal function (EOF) mode of the extratropical SLP anomalies represents variations of the Aleutian low, and the second E...

Sea surface temperature (SST) is an essential parameter associated with fish habitat and changes in oceanic conditions. Long-term SST variation relation to sea level pressure (SLP) wind speed (SWS) was observed based on the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) data of southern Indian Ocean. Mean monthly time series showed that February November were warmest coolest months, respect...
