Sentences with phrase «dominant mode of variability»

1) The MJO: as the dominant mode of intraseasonal variability in the tropics that couples with organized convective activity, the MJO has a considerable impact not only in the tropics, but also in the middle and high latitudes, and is considered as a major source of global predictability on the subseasonal time scale;

The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), the dominant mode of atmospheric circulation variability over the North Atlantic / European sector, is a leading governor of wintertime climate fluctuations in Europe, the Mediterranean, parts of the Middle East and eastern North America over a wide range of time scales from intra-seasonal to multi-decadal (e.g., Hurrell 1995; Hurrell et al. 2003).

The principal component time series of the ENSO (M1) and North Pacific (M3) modes are coherent at time scales > 10 years, and their interaction results in the traditional PDO pattern and the dominant mode of Pacific multi-decadal variability.
