In recent decades, there has been a divergence in the evidence (models, observations, reanalysis data) about the trend of coastal upwelling driving winds in the current global warming scenario over the Humboldt Current ...

This study investigates the economic value of several simple forecasts of 3-month average eastern tropical Pacific sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTA). Two Chilean agricultural regions were selected and the value of ...

This study investigates the Intertropical Con- vergence Zone (ITCZ) response to extratropical ther- mal forcing applied to an atmospheric general circulation model coupled to slab ocean and land models. We focus on ...

The identification and analysis of the effects of intense cyclone activity over the South Atlantic is the main focus of the current work. Using databases distributed by NCEP/NOAA of daily sea level pressure (SLP) and ...

This study assesses the relationship between global sea surface temperature (SST) and a regional index of rainfall (NWPR) in Piura-Tumbes, a coastal region in northwestern Peru, over the period 1965-2008 by means of the ...

Sea surface temperature (SST) is used to infer past changes in the state of the climate system. Here we use a combination of newly generated and published organic paleothermometer records, together with novel high-resolution ...
