Sentences with phrase «austral spring»

The amplification of the SH ENSO signature, which largely projects on PSA - 1, in austral spring compared with the other seasons was discussed by Jin and Kirtman (2009) and shown to reflect the seasonality of the SH atmosphere, rather than the seasonality of ENSO forcing.
All are timeseries for austral spring (SON).
Only the 1986 austral spring extent is lower.
Regardless of the exact reasons for differences in the TOGA and GOGA experiments, the model results support the notion that SSTs in the tropics to subtropics have played a role in forcing the atmospheric circulation trends over the SH in austral spring.
After migrating hundreds of miles from their winter feeding grounds, they marched off the ice in the austral spring and — even though their nesting territories were concealed under snow — headed to the very colonies where many were hatched or had raised chicks before.
Optically thick smoke aerosol plumes originating from biomass burning (BB) in the southwestern African Savanna during the austral spring are transported westward by the free tropospheric winds to primarily overlie vast stretches of stratocumulus cloud decks in the southeast Atlantic.
Local and long - range transport of smoke resulting from biomass burning, as well as blowing dust, is common in the austral spring.
Upwelling is concentrated in distinct upwelling cells and occurs predominatly in the austral spring and summer [2].
Conversely, the sea ice fringing Antarctica is normally melting at this time of year, during the austral spring and summer.
Moreover, due to the seasonality of the SH atmosphere, the maximum high - latitude response to ENSO forcing is observed in the austral spring (Jin and Kirtman 2009); it is reasonable to expect that the seasonality of the strong tropical - high latitude linkage applies to the lower frequency as well as the interannual ENSO timescale.
While the trend magnitudes and northward extent of the anomalies differ by month, the pattern of Ross Sea increase and Amundsen - Bellingshausen Sea decrease is not unique to austral spring, a result consistent with many studies (e.g. Turner et al. 2009; Comiso et al. 2008; Stammerjohn et al. 2008; Jacobs and Comiso 1997).
Also... I am sure they want to ignore the austral spring average lows in Vostok over the next week, some of which exceed -100 Degrees F.
The SAM was especially strong in austral spring and summer 2008 - 2009, and subsequently the 2008 - 2009 snowmelt was lower than normal.
The Antarctic ozone hole, which appears in the austral spring because of the unique meteorology over the pole, is now relatively stable from year to year.
