Atmospheric Oscillations: Sources of Subseasonal-to-Seasonal Variability and Predictability

Atmospheric Oscillations: Sources of Subseasonal-to-Seasonal Variability and Predictability provides a thorough examination of the various atmospheric oscillations of scientific and societal importance in the context of natural climate variability and anthropogenic climate change. Included are introductions to each phenomenon, an overview of the state of knowledge, in-depth analysis of relevant dynamical processes, and discussions of the impacts on weather and climate and implications to subseasonal-to-seasonal predictions and predictability. Written by an international team of experts in the fields of atmospheric and planetary sciences, each chapter of the book either focuses on a specific atmospheric oscillation or the interaction between multiple oscillations. Includes a comprehensive accounting of various atmospheric oscillations across different regions and subseasonal-to-seasonal time scalesPresents a detailed examination of each atmospheric oscillation, along with key examples of their interactionsProvides an in-depth analysis and discussion of relevant dynamical processes and implications to weather and climate predictions INDICE: 1.
