«The paper confirms the idea that tropical Pacific trade winds play a major role
in global climate variability,» Matthew England, a professor at the University of New South Wales who was not involved with the coral study, said.
The Climate Change Science Program (CCSP), a joint federal program of the President's Committee on Climate Change Science and Technology Integration, has issued its strategic plan to address some of the most complex questions and problems dealing with long -
term global climate variability and change.
Our work is an additional piece in the giant puzzle of
global climate variability, but I am confident that we will be able to extract the secrets underlying the natural climate fluctuations,» says Prof. Latif.
«We... propose that one should not rely solely on prediction as the primary policy approach to assess the potential impact of future regional and
global climate variability and change.
It also suggests that the AMV has served an important role in
the global climate variability observed during the last century.
The Regional Climate Impacts theme stresses the need to explain and interpret the potential impacts of
global climate variability and change at the regional and community scale.
We may also have a fundamental link between the Sun and Pacific variability in the simple mechanisms of cold water pushing along the Peruvian and Californian Currents to major areas for cold water upwelling on the planet in the Humboldt Current and the region of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation — thus accounting for most of the rest of
global climate variability.
Global climate variability is to a large extent triggered by changes in the North Atlantic sea surface state.
Fraction of Attributable Risk (FAR) models are increasingly used nowadays to «fingerprint» regional and
global climate variability and even extreme weather events.
Further develop and publicize internationally - accepted indices of
global climate variability and change and their methodologies, with added emphasis on marine climate indices;
