TLDR
In this article, the authors explored the connection of Rossby wave breaking with tropical and extratropical variability during the Atlantic hurricane season, focusing on subtropical ant ant colonies.
Abstract
This study explores the connection of Rossby wave breaking (RWB) with tropical and extratropical variability during the Atlantic hurricane season. The exploration emphasizes subtropical ant...

Characteristics of the Atlantic Storm-track Eddy Activity and its Relation With the North Atlantic Oscillation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on feedbacks of the high-frequency eddy activity onto the quasi-stationary circulation, particularly with regard to the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO).

Global analyses of sea surface temperature, sea ice, and night marine air temperature since the late nineteenth century

TL;DR: HadISST1 as mentioned in this paper replaces the global sea ice and sea surface temperature (GISST) data sets and is a unique combination of monthly globally complete fields of SST and sea ice concentration on a 1° latitude-longitude grid from 1871.

The Version 2 Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP) Monthly Precipitation Analysis (1979-Present)

TL;DR: The Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP) version 2 Monthly Precise Analysis as discussed by the authors is a merged analysis that incorporates precipitation estimates from low-orbit satellite microwave data, geosynchronous-orbit-satellite infrared data, and rain gauge observations.

Some simple solutions for heat-induced tropical circulation.

TL;DR: In this article, a simple analytic model is constructed to elucidate some basic features of the response of the tropical atmosphere to diabatic heating, showing that there is considerable east-west asymmetry which can be illustrated by solutions for heating concentrated in an area of finite extent.

Classification, seasonality and persistence of low-frequency atmospheric circulation patterns

TL;DR: In this article, Orthogonally rotated principle component analysis (RPCA) was used to identify and describe the seasonality and persistence of the major modes of interannual variability.
