TL;DR: In this paper, the meteorological conditions and a historical perspective of the winter droughts in western Nepal were analyzed using instrumental records, satellite observations, and climate model simulations using atmospheric reanalysis revealed that the recent spells of decadal drought in Nepal are symptomatic of both natural variability and anthropogenic influences.

TL;DR: The Arctic System Reanalysis, version 2 (ASRv2) as mentioned in this paper is a multi-agency, university-led retrospective analysis (reanalysis) of the greater Arctic region using blends of the polaroptimized version of the Weather Research and Forecasting (Polar WRF) Model and three-dimensional variational data assimilated observations for a comprehensive integration of the regional climate of the Arctic for 2000-12.

TL;DR: In this article, case and climatological analyses suggest that summer precipitation in northern Pakistan comprises two distinct phases: (1) a premonsoon trough phase (July) whose rainfall is more episodic and intense, occurring prior to arrival of the monsoon trough, and (2) a monsoon basin phase (August) whose precipitation is persistent, yet less episodic, driven by the northward migration of the Monsoon trough.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present evidence that the de-trended, boreal winter sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTA) in the western North Pacific (WNP) are a skillful predictor for the development of the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) by the following winter.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used data from the Arctic Summer Cloud-Ocean Study (ASCOS) field experiment on the Swedish icebreaker Oden north of 87° N in the Atlantic sector of the Arctic during August and early September 2008.
