Naturally occurring tropical Pacific variations at timescales of 7–70 years—tropical Pacific
decadal variability (TPDV)—describe basin-scale sea surface temperature (SST), sea-level …

Since its discovery in the early 1970s, the crucial role of the Madden‐Julian Oscillation
(MJO) in the global hydrological cycle and its tremendous influence on high‐impact climate …

Several pathways for how climate change may influence the US coastal hurricane risk have
been proposed, but the physical mechanisms and possible connections between various …

The magnitude of global warming is controlled by climate feedbacks associated with various
aspects of the climate system, such as clouds. The global climate feedback is the net effect …

Stratocumulus clouds cover 20% of the low-latitude oceans and are especially prevalent in
the subtropics. They cool the Earth by shading large portions of its surface from sunlight …

A linear wave theory for the Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO), previously developed by
Sobel and Maloney, is extended upon in this study. In this treatment, column moisture is the …

Abstract Studies of the Madden‐Julian Oscillation (MJO) have progressed considerably
during the past decades in observations, numerical modeling, and theoretical …

Feedbacks of clouds on climate change strongly influence the magnitude of global
warming,,. Cloud feedbacks, in turn, depend on the spatial patterns of surface warming …

The atmosphere and ocean are two of the most important components of the climate system,
and fluid dynamics is central to our understanding of both. This book provides a unified and …

Aimed at reducing deficiencies in representing the Madden‐Julian oscillation (MJO) in
general circulation models (GCMs), a global model evaluation project on vertical structure …
