The role of atmospheric and oceanic forcing in Greenland outlet glacier behaviour
… evaluate the respective roles of atmospheric and oceanic forcing on frontal position variations of Helheim, Kangerdlugssuaq Glacier and Jakobshavn Isbrae. At the seasonal scale, sea surface temperatures appear to be the dominant control on the cycle of frontal position changes at Kangerdlugssuaq …

Decadal rainfall variability over Southern Africa
… is underpinned by influences from ENSO and other oceanic forcing, and known to exhibit quasi-decadal variability at 16-20 years (Tyson, 1975). This study uses a combination of proxy, observed and climate model data to explore the nature, mechanisms and anthropogenic forcing of rainfall variability …

Glacier-ocean interactions in shallow-silled fjords
… sill processes, freshwater inputs, and external forcing, are not well understood. This dissertation investigates the impact of these factors on fjord circulation, water properties, and submarine melting using a combination of numerical simulations and observational analysis. ☐ Idealized …

Statistical modelling and variability of the subtropical front, New Zealand
… investigate the role that remote atmospheric and oceanic forcing relating to the El Nino-Southern Oscillation may play in interannual frontal variability. Cold (warm) anomalies are observed at the Southland Front three to four months after peak El Nino (La Nina) events. The gradient of the front …

SURFACE AND AEROSOL EFFECTS ON THE SOUTH ASIAN MONSOON HYDROCLIMATE
… For example, they tend to emphasize local oceanic forcing on precipitation or to poorly simulate the relationship between SST and evaporation. The Indian monsoon rainfall-SST link is also spuriously misrepresented, suggesting caution when interpreting model-based findings. Both regional and …
