Since its discovery in the early 1970s, the crucial role of the Madden‐Julian Oscillation
(MJO) in the global hydrological cycle and its tremendous influence on high‐impact climate …

We review teleconnections within the atmosphere and ocean, their dynamics and their role
in coupled climate variability. We concentrate on teleconnections in the latitudinal direction …

There is high demand and a growing expectation for predictions of environmental conditions
that go beyond 0–14-day weather forecasts with outlooks extending to one or more seasons …

Abstract During El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events, the atmospheric response to
sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies in the equatorial Pacific influences ocean …

The primary focus of this review is tropical‐extratropical interactions and especially the
issues involved in determining the response of the extratropical atmosphere to tropical …

Impacts of Indian Ocean Dipole mode (IOD) events on global climate are estimated by
correlation/regression analysis. The analysis examined land rain and temperature and 3 …

Since 1980, the number of undernourished people in eastern and southern Africa has more
than doubled. Rural development stalled and rural poverty expanded during the 1990s …

Relationships between Indonesian rainfall and Indo-Pacific sea surface temperatures
(SSTs) and circulation anomalies are investigated using observations for 1951–97 …

A review is provided of stationary wave theory, the theory for the deviations from zonal
symmetry of the climate. To help focus the discussion the authors concentrate exclusively on …

Abstract A 3-yr (1998–2000) climatology of near-surface rainfall and stratiform rain fraction
observed by the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) precipitation radar (PR) was …
