Characterisations of Different El Nino Types, their Physical Causes and Predictions
El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the most important interannual mode of climate variability in the tropical Pacific affecting the globe through teleconnections. The evolution of ENSO is studied with focus on individual El Nino (EN) events; factors and processes explaining the behaviours of …

Analyzing el nino southern oscillation predictions from long-short-merm-memory models
El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) can have global impacts across the world. Because of its prevalence, scientists run models to forecast its next move. Here, long-short-term-memory models (LSTM) were compared to linear regression models (LR) as first steps to explore the potential benefits of …

Examining the Connection between Guam's Seasonal Rainfall and the El-Nino Southern Oscillation 1950-2023
… interannual variability is represented by the El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO). Different phases of ENSO may produce deviations from the expected precipitation pattern. Knowledge of this deviation, may assist planners in compensating for changes in water supply. This study will analyze …

An application of LIDAR to examine erosion in the southern Monterey Bay during the 1997-98 El Nino
… Southern Monterey Bay region and to qualitatively assess the erosional impact of large storms on coastal dune areas. LIDAR provides a rapid and accurate survey technique to measure topographic elevation. A LIDAR survey was performed in October 1997 and then a second survey in April 1998 to …

Late Holocene Climatic Change: The little ice age and El Nino from planktonic foraminifera in sediments off walvis bay, South West Africa
… off Walvis Bay, South West Africa, seems to correlate with the Little Ice Age that occurred during the late Holocene. Although similar research, using species and oxygen isotope variations has been completed in similar sediment off northern Venezuela and in the Santa Barbara Basin (Kipp and …

Analysis of Roanoke Region Weather Patterns Under Global Teleconnections
This work attempts to relate global teleconnections, through physical phenomena such as the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), Artic Oscillation (AO), North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), and the Pacific North American (PNA) pattern to synoptic-scale weather patterns and precipitation in the …

Machine Learning and Geostatistical Approaches for Discovery of Weather and Climate Events Related to El Niño Phenomena
<p>El Nino and La Nina are worldwide environmental phenomena brought about by repetitive changes in the water temperature of the Pacific Ocean. Even though the El-Nino impact focuses on a smaller area in the Pacific Ocean near the Equator, these developments have global repercussions, where …

Safe Yield for Jointly Operated Reservoir System and Examination of ENSO Impacts
Determination of safe yield of a water source is a basic aspect of water supply planning. In this report, the safe yield is defined as the maximum constant release from a reservoir that is possible during a selected drought period. The yield depends on drought magnitude and duration controlled by …

RADIOLARIAN BIOSTRATIGRAPHIC AND PALEOCEANOGRAPHIC STUDIES OF MONTEREY-LIKE ROCKS OF THE HUMBOLDT BASIN, NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
… Two minor ones occurring at 11.5ma and approximately 8.0ma and two major events at 5.0ma and approximately 5.5ma. Occurrences of radiolaria indicative of low oxygen conditions, cold deep forms, and radiolarians associated with the California Current indicate that Paleoceanic circulation in the …

El Niño
David Leavitt writes: "if the novel is the marriage, the novella is a prolonged infatuation, an extended holiday." Although Leavitt is discussing the relationship of the writer to his work, infatuations and extended holidays tend also to be the favourite subjects of the novella. El Nino, keeps with …

Pliocene-Pleistocene Radiolarian Investigations of the Equatorial Oceans
This study explores and develops the application of Polycystine radiolarian microfossils to the investigation of Late Cenozoic deep-sea sediments recovered by the Deep Sea Drilling Program (DSDP) and Ocean Drilling Program (OOP), and utilizes these advances in undertaking a detailed …

Recent extreme events in a tropical stalagmite: Multi-proxy records and analysis of ecosystem delta carbon-13 value sensitivity to weak climate forcing
<p>Speleothems are emerging as important and detailed chronological records of environmental change. Integrating exploration of modern speleothem records of environmental variability, related forcing factors, and understanding and suggests new potential proxies. This dissertation demonstrates the …

Last-saturation applications to the humidity of the subtropical middle troposphere
I completed atmospheric transport modeling studies into distributions of subtropical water vapor, to identify the mechanisms by which humidity varies over distinct temporal scales: inter-annual time-scales associated with the El Nino – Southern Oscillation, over the next century in response to …

Teleconnections between seasonal rainfall in coastal Tanzania and Enso
… Tanzanian coastal rainfall variability with the El Nino/Southern oscillation (ENSO), the largest known mode of Southern Hemisphere climatic variation is examined. A rainfall index was formulated from variable Tanzanian coastal stations and used to identify the rainfall characteristics of each …

Influence of the Indian Ocean Subtropical Dipole on the Agulhas current
… System. Here, the SIOD climatology was developed using a Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) configured with GFDL-CORE v.2b reanalysis winds and heat fluxes for the 1958-2007 period. This configuration allows for a relatively accurate spatial and temporal account of the Sea Surface …

Dynamics of storm tracks
… of a three-layer hemispheric linear-balanced model. We establish first how the instability properties of the relevant background circulation might be related to the observed storm tracks. We examine next how the topography could influence the local cyclogenesis. Finally, we investigate how the …

Statistical modelling and variability of the subtropical front, New Zealand
… are notoriously difficult features to adequately sample using traditional in-situ techniques. We therefore propose a new and innovative statistical modelling approach to detecting and monitoring ocean fronts from AVHRR SST images. Weighted local likelihood is used to provide a nonparametric …
