Temporal and Spatial Variability of Extratropical Climate Patterns

The content of this thesis is divided into two parts. The first part studies the connection between the variability of climate patterns and the temporal-spatial variations in Rossby wave breaking (RWB). The second part attempts to improve the incomplete description of the spatial variability of climate patterns provided by Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF) analysis.

Regional modeling of air-sea interaction in the Atlantic: Implications for weather and climate

The interaction between the atmosphere and the ocean plays an important role in climate variability. This talk will discuss the use of high-resolution coupled regional climate modeling to carry out process studies of air-sea interaction in the Atlantic region. Specific phenomena to be discussed include the maintenance of sea surface temperature gradients over the tropical Atlantic, and the impacts of oceanic feedback on Atlantic hurricane activity.
