The temporal stationarity of the teleconnection between the tropical Pacific Ocean and 24 North America (NA) is analyzed in atmosphere-only, and coupled last-millennium, historical, 25 and control runs from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) data 26 archive. The teleconnection, defined as the correlation between December-January-February 27 (DJF) tropical Pacific sea surf...

The breeding method has been implemented in the NASA Seasonal-to-Interannual Prediction Project (NSIPP) coupled general circulation model (CGCM) with the ultimate goal of improving operational seasonal to interannual climate predictions through ensemble forecasting and data assimilation. This is the first attempt to isolate the evolving ENSO instability and its corresponding global atmospheric ...

The present study experimentally investigates fundamental characteristics of diffusion flames and the importance of gas radiation. In particular, transient measurements of flame growth, temperature, and radiation intensity of an expanding spherical diffusion flame in microgravity are used to investigate the effects of various diluents (N2, CO2) with different radiative properties. Two systems w...
