Projected future changes in equatorial wave spectrum in CMIP6

Projected Future Seasonal Changes in Tropical Summer Climate

The authors analyze changes in the tropical sea surface temperature (SST), surface wind, and other fields from the twentieth to the twenty-first century in climate projections using the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 3 (CMIP3) multimodel ensemble, focusing on the seasons January–March (JFM) and July–September (JAS). When the annual mean change is subtracted, the remaining ‘‘seasona...

Mechanisms for projected future changes in south Asian monsoon precipitation

Results are first presented from an analysis of a global coupled climate model regarding changes in future mean and variability of south Asian monsoon precipitation due to increased atmospheric CO2 for doubled (2 · CO2) and quadrupled (4 · CO2) presentday amounts. Results from the coupled model show that, in agreement with previous studies, mean areaaveraged south Asian monsoon precipitation in...

Internal Wave Generation in the Equatorial Undercurrent

The generation of internal waves in the equatorial undercurrent is studied using a large-eddy simulation (LES) model. The model is forced with a constant easterly windstress and diurnal heating and cooling. Internal waves are generated with typical horizontal wavelengths of about 250 m, consistent with observations and comparable to the wavelengths of the most unstable modes from linear instabi...

Drivers of the projected changes to the Pacific Ocean equatorial circulation

Impacts of projected changes and variability in climatic data on major food crops yields in Rwanda

This paper investigated the response of major food crop yields namely beans,cassava, Irish potatoes, maize and sweet potatoes to ongoing changes in climate inRwanda. The projected daily precipitation and temperature data for the period2000-2050 used in this study were generated by stochastic weather generator(LARS-WG) from daily raw data for the period 1961 -2000. These data werecollected from ...
