Predictability of Northwest Pacific climate during summer and the role of the Tropical Indian Ocean

2 ABSTRACT A seasonal forecast system based on a global, fully coupled ocean-atmosphere general circulation model is used to (i) evaluate the interannual predictability of the Northwest Pacific climate during June-August following El Niño [JJA(1)], and (ii) examine the contribution from the tropical Indian Ocean (TIO) variability. The model retrospective forecast for 1983-2006 captures major mo...

Epiphytic macrolichen communities were compared among forest stand types in the Blue River watershed of western Oregon.
