Reanalysis datasets are among the most used gridded data for study of weather and climate [...]

This study analyzes Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5 (CMIP5) model output to examine the covariability of interannual Southern Hemisphere Hadley cell (HC) edge latitude shifts and shortwave cloud radiative effect (SWCRE). In control climate runs, during years when the HC edge is anomalously poleward, most models substantially reduce the shortwave radiation reflected by clouds in th...

Eigen techniques such as empirical orthogonal func1 tion (EOF) or coupled pattern (CP) / maximum covariance 2 analysis have been frequently used for detecting patterns 3 in multivariate climatological data sets. Recently, statisti4 cal methods originating from the theory of complex net5 works have been employed for the very same purpose of 6 spatio-temporal analysis. This climate network (CN) a...

drought is a climatological hazard and is a part of the climate of a region. this climatological phenomenon has some properties that distinguish it from other natural disasters. drought is a gradual phenomenon and when the amount of moisture and precipitation become less than normal value in a certain period, its damages are non- structural in this condition and it is said that drought has occu...
