    • An Atmospheric Teleconnection Linking ENSO and Southwestern European Precipitation 

      Shaman, Jeffrey; Tziperman, Eli (American Meteorological Society, 2011)
      Numerous studies have demonstrated statistical associations between the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and precipitation in the Mediterranean basin. The dynamical bases for these teleconnections have yet to be fully ...

    • Interannual Variability in Tropical Tropospheric Ozone and OH: The Role of Lightning 

      Murray, Lee; Logan, Jennifer A.; Jacob, Daniel James (Wiley-Blackwell, 2013)
      Nitrogen oxide radicals (NOx) produced by lightning are natural precursors for the production of the dominant tropospheric oxidants, OH and ozone. Observations of the interannual variability (IAV) of tropical ozone and of ...

    • Optimal Excitation of Interannual Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation Variability 

      Zanna, Laure; Heimbach, Patrick; Moore, Andrew M.; Tziperman, Eli (American Meteorological Society, 2011)
      The optimal excitation of Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (MOC) anomalies is investigated in an ocean general circulation model with an idealized configuration. The optimal three-dimensional spatial structure ...

    • The Role of Ocean Dynamics in the Optimal Growth of Tropical SST Anomalies 

      Zanna, Laure; Heimbach, Patrick; Moore, Andrew M.; Tziperman, Eli (American Meteorological Society, 2010)
      The role of ocean dynamics in optimally exciting interannual variability of tropical sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies is investigated using an idealized-geometry ocean general circulation model. Initial temperature ...

    • Terrestrial Biosphere Model Performance for Inter-Annual Variability of Land-Atmosphere CO2 Exchange 

      Keenan, Trevor; Baker, Ian; Barr, Alan; Ciais, Philippe; Dietze, Michael; Dragoni, Danillo; Gough, Christopher; Grant, Robert; Hollinger, David; Hufkens, Koen; Poulter, Ben; McCaughey, Harry; Racza, Brett; Ryu, Youngryel; Schaefer, Kevin; Tian, Hanqin; Verbeeeck, Hans; Zhao, Maosheng; Richardson, Andrew (Wiley-Blackwell, 2012)
      Interannual variability in biosphere-atmosphere exchange of CO2 is driven by a diverse range of biotic and abiotic factors. Replicating this variability thus represents the ‘acid test’ for terrestrial biosphere models. ...

    • Transport pathways for Asian pollution outflow over the Pacific: Interannual and seasonal variations 

      Liu, Hongyu; Jacob, Daniel James; Bey, Isabelle; Yantosca, Robert M.; Duncan, Bryan; Sachse, Glen (Wiley-Blackwell, 2003)
      The meteorological pathways contributing to Asian pollution outflow over the Pacific are examined with a global three-dimensional model analysis of CO observations from the Transport and Chemical Evolution over the Pacific ...
