One of the most intriguing facets of the climate system is that it exhibits variability across all temporal and spatial scales; pronounced examples are temperature and precipitation. The structure of […]
Multidecadal variations in North Atlantic sea surface temperatures are linked to areas far beyond that region, via atmospheric teleconnections. We take advantage of one such linkage, to reconstruct multi-decadal variations […]
Present descriptions of Quaternary climate assert that after major Northern Hemisphere ice sheets first appeared three million years ago, a steady rhythm of obliquity-driven, 40-ky glacial cycles dominated global climate […]
The genus homo started about 3-2.5 million years ago – likely in the savannas of Eastern Africa. Over the following 2 million years further speciation events occurred and some groups, […]
In the early 1950’s John von Neumann and Jules Charney carried out the first successful numerical weather forecasts at the Institute of Advanced Study at Princeton. The United States Weather […]
Most precipitation systems in Korea are highly influenced by the East Asian summer monsoon (Changma) as well as by synoptic scale/mesoscale weather phenomena, and hence have high seasonal variation; they […]
Land surface is the interface between atmosphere and land, which is composed of various soils, vegetations, surface water bodies, snow/ice etc.; thus, it represents various components of the Earth’s environment/climate […]
Numerical prediction of climate/weather/environment is an important tool for adequate policy making in an era of changing climate. It basically requires a coupled modeling system, and its performance can be […]
During recent decades, the Arctic has been warming at a much faster rate than the global average. Interestingly, this accelerated warming in response to greenhouse gas forcing is most pronounced […]
Tropical volcanic eruptions are known to induce a decrease in global monsoon precipitation but there remains a large uncertainty in model simulated responses. Here we show that the inter-simulation differences […]
