How potentially predictable are midlatitude ocean currents?
Predictability of atmospheric variability is known to be limited owing to significant uncertainty that arises from intrinsic variability generated independently of external forcing and/or boundary conditions. Observed atmospheric variability is therefore regarded as just a single realization among different dynamical states that could occur. In contrast, subject to wind, thermal and fresh-water...
متن کاملWinter climate change affects growing-season soil microbial biomass and activity in northern hardwood forests.
Understanding the responses of terrestrial ecosystems to global change remains a major challenge of ecological research. We exploited a natural elevation gradient in a northern hardwood forest to determine how reductions in snow accumulation, expected with climate change, directly affect dynamics of soil winter frost, and indirectly soil microbial biomass and activity during the growing season....
متن کاملHow Predictable Is
JULY 2003 AMERICAN METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY | A recent analysis of 12 statistical and dynamical models used for El Niño predictions finds that at the long (1–2 yr) and even medium (6–11 months) ranges there were “no models that provided useful and skillful forecasts for the entirety of the 1997/98 El Niño” (Landsea and Knaff 2000). Most of the models were wrong in predicting the timing of the ons...
متن کاملWinter Season Mortality: Will Climate Warming Bring Benefits?
Extreme heat events are associated with spikes in mortality, yet death rates are on average highest during the coldest months of the year. Under the assumption that most winter excess mortality is due to cold temperature, many previous studies have concluded that winter mortality will substantially decline in a warming climate. We analyzed whether and to what extent cold temperatures are associ...
متن کاملHow predictable is DNI? An evaluation of hour ahead and day ahead DNI forecasts from four different providers
Forecast DNI values in hourly resolution for one day ahead are evaluated by a comparison with pyrheliometer ground measurements. Three months of such day ahead forecasts from four different providers for a site close to Questa, NM, USA are analyzed firstly by calculating the RMSE and the mean bias error. Secondly, cumulative distributions of the DNI forecast errors are calculated as they better...
