The eastern North American sea level pressure dipole (ENA) pattern is a recently identified teleconnection pattern that has been shown to influence mid-Atlantic United States (U.S.) streamflow variability. Because the pattern was only recently identified, its impacts on U.S. precipitation and estuaries on daily to seasonal timescales is unknown. Thus, this paper presents the first seasonal inve...

The International Research Institute (IRI) for Climate Prediction produces operational outlooks for seasonal (3-month periods) average temperature and for total precipitation, at lead times of 0 and 3 months (Mason et al. 1999). These outlooks are probabilistic in nature and subjectively produced. During the 1997–2000 period considered here, two seasonal forecasts, at 0and 3month lead times, we...

ELKI is a uni ed software framework, designed as a tool suitable for evaluation of di erent algorithms on high dimensional realvalued feature-vectors. A special case of high dimensional real-valued feature-vectors are time series data where traditional distance measures like Lp-distances can be applied. However, also a broad range of specialized distance measures like, e.g., dynamic time-warpin...

Classification of given data sets according to a training set is one of the essentials bread and butter tools in machine learning. There are several application scenarios, reaching from the detection of spam and non-spam mails to recognition of malicious behavior, or other forensic use cases. To this end, there are several approaches that can be used to train such classifiers. Often, scientists...

The increasing complexity and impacts of fire seasons in the United States have prompted efforts to improve early warning systems for wildland management. Outlooks potential activity at lead-times several weeks can help resource allocation as well complement short-term meteorological forecasts ongoing events. Here, we describe an experimental system developing downscaled ensemble-based subseaso...

Abstract Given the significant impact pandemic has had on lives of older adults, research is needed to understand how conceptions ageing in place and attitudes about living independently may have shifted during a time marked by environmental change. There gap knowledge adults characterise positive support for response rapid changes physical social environments, including home confinement, reduc...
