Interannual middle-latitude atmosphere-ocean interactions
… of atmosphere and ocean in midlatitudes on interannual and decadal timescales. We investigate the extent to which mutuallycoupled atmosphere-ocean feedback can explain the observed coupled variability on these timescales, and look for preferred modes of atmospheric response to forcing by …

Causes of the interannual variability of deep convection
… loss. This thesis assesses the causes of the interannual variability of deep convection. We first aim to quantify the relative importance of preconditioning, defined as the temperature and salinity structures and contents of the water column before the onset of convection, and of the buoyancy …

Seasonal predictability and interannual variability in coastal planktonic communities
… temperature-phenology relationships, and interannual bloom variability in coastal plankton using two decades of high-resolution observations from the Martha’s Vineyard Coastal Observatory (MVCO). Through automated flow cytometry, we analyzed community dynamics across multiple taxa …

A model study of the interannual variability of Tanzanian rainfall
The ability of the Hadley Centre Atmospheric Model version 3 (HadAM3) to capturerainfall variability patterns over Eastern Africa and the western tropical Indian Oceanduring the rainy seasons (October to December (OND) and March to May (MAM)) isassessed against data derived from National Centre for …

The influence of volcanic stratospheric aerosols on interannual global climate variations
A qualitative physical mechanism has been proposed to explain the forcing of the El Nino/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) by low-latitude volcanic stratospheric aerosols (Handler 1989). This mechanism is based on the normal global annual cycle resulting from the normal annual cycle in the distribution …

Seasonal and interannual variability of wind-driven upwelling at Lüderitz, Namibia
… in the wind regime at diurnal, seasonal, interannual and interdecadal time scales. Meteorological measurements including wind speed, wind direction and air pressure collected at Dias Point Lighthouse (260 38.094'S 150 05.612'E) at hourly to eight-hourly intervals from 1960 to 2006 are …

Investigating the Influence of Interannual Precipitation Variability on Terrestrial Ecosystem Productivity
This study investigated the impact of interannual precipitation variability on above-ground terrestrial ecosystem productivity in the Hulunbuir ecosystem, using time series analysis, regression analysis, and machine learning models. The study's primary goal was to enhance our understanding of the …

The structure of annual and interannual wind variability in the tropics
Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences, 1986.

Interannual variability of air-sea fluxes of carbon dioxide and oxygen
… O2/N2 partitioning method due to the neglect of interannual variability in the air-sea fluxes of 02, and (2) the interannual variability of the ocean CO2 sink.

Interannual variability of the Pacific Water boundary current in the Beaufort Sea
… during this time period, we examine the interannual variability of the current. It is found that the volume, heat, and freshwater transport have all decreased drastically over the decade, by more than 80%. The most striking changes have occurred during the summer months. Using a …

The effect of large-scale interannual variations in the Gulf of Guinea
… explains the inability of the winds to covary interannually with SST at the TIWs frontal zones. Investigations presented in this thesis increase our understanding of tropical Atlantic variability and results therein are useful as background conditions for coupled ocean-atmosphere models.

Understanding the interannual variability of pCO2 in the sea-ice impacted Southern Ocean
… and the system's complexity. To characterize the interannual variability of oceanic pCO2 in the sea-ice-impacted Southern Ocean and identify their potential primary drivers, this thesis combines in situ observations with remotely sensed data and reanalysis models during the austral summer months. …

Improved estimates and understanding of interannual trends of CO₂ fluxes in the Southern Ocean
… shown that Southern Ocean CO₂ is subject to interannual variability. Measuring and understanding this change has been difficult due to sparse observational data that is biased toward summer. This leaves a crucial gap in our understanding of the Southern Ocean CO₂ seasonal cycle, which needs …

The seasonal and interannual variability of the West Greenland Current system in the Labrador Sea
The Labrador Sea, as one of a few places of deep water formation, plays an important role in the Meridional Overturning Circulation. While the interior of the Labrador Sea, where the deepest convection takes place, is known to experience variability on time scales ranging from days to decades, …

Influence of the Quasi-biennial Oscillation on Interannual Variability in the Northern Hemisphere Winter Stratosphere
Observations show that the interannual variability of the Northern Hemisphere (NH) extratropical winter stratosphere is strongly correlated with the quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) of tropical stratospheric winds, particularly during early winter. Most current general circulation models (GCMs) do …
