ERA‐Interim is the latest global atmospheric reanalysis produced by the European Centre
for Medium‐Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). The ERA‐Interim project was conducted …

Earth's tropical and subtropical rainbands, such as Intertropical Convergence Zones (ITCZs)
and monsoons, are complex systems, governed by both large‐scale constraints on the …

A seasonally independent index for monitoring the Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO) is
described. It is based on a pair of empirical orthogonal functions (EOFs) of the combined …

The Tropical Ocean‐Global Atmosphere (TOGA) program sought to determine the
predictability of the coupled ocean‐atmosphere system. The World Climate Research …

Sub‐seasonal forecasts have been routinely produced at ECMWF since 2002 with
reforecasts produced 'on the fly'to calibrate the real‐time sub‐seasonal forecasts. In this …

Relationships between Indonesian rainfall and Indo-Pacific sea surface temperatures
(SSTs) and circulation anomalies are investigated using observations for 1951–97 …

El Niño events typically lead to delayed rainfall and decreased rice planting in Indonesia's
main rice-growing regions, thus prolonging the hungry season and increasing the risk of …

In the last two decades the availability of global remote sensing data sets has provided a
new means of studying global patterns and dynamics in vegetation. The vast majority of …

This study evaluates the tropical intraseasonal variability, especially the fidelity of Madden–
Julian oscillation (MJO) simulations, in 14 coupled general circulation models (GCMs) …

Daily variations in Australian rainfall and surface temperature associated with the Southern
Hemisphere annular mode (SAM) are documented using observations for the period 1979 …
