TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the connection between the tropical convection of the Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO) and the intraseasonal variability of precipitation in Canada.

TL;DR: A World Weather Research Programme (WWRP) project entitled the Science of Nowcasting Olympic Weather for Vancouver 2010 (SNOW-V10) was developed to be associated with the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games conducted between 12 February and 21 March 2010 as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, seasonal hindcasts were made using the COLA (Center for Ocean-Land-Atmosphere Studies) model for 16 winter seasons (mid-December through March for 1981/82 to 1996/97) using observed initial conditions in mid-December and observed global sea surface temperatures (SSTs).

TL;DR: In this article, a statistical approach to correct a dynamical ensemble forecast of future seasonal means based on the past performance of a general circulation model (GCM) is formulated, which combines principal component (PC) analysis with the regression technique to remove the systematic structural (distortion) error from the GCM ensemble.

TL;DR: In this article, the correlation between sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies over the Pacific and the dominant patterns of wintertime Northern Hemisphere 500-hPa height is examined by applying statistical techniques such as rotated principal component analysis and composite analysis.
