Interacting Climates of Ocean Basins
Interacting Climates of Ocean Basins
$93.99
USDClimate variability in different ocean basins can impact one another, for instance the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) in the Pacific Ocean has remote effects on other tropical oceans around the world, which in turn modulate ENSO. With chapters by eminent researchers, this book provides a comprehensive review on how interactions among the climates in different ocean basins are key contributors to global climate variability. It discusses how interbasin interactions are mediated by oceanic and atmospheric bridges and explains exciting new possibilities for enhancing climate prediction globally. The first part of the book covers essential theory and introduces the basic mechanisms for remote connection and local amplification. The second presents outstanding examples. The latter part discusses applications to cases of societal interest such as impacts on monsoon systems and expectations after climate change. This comprehensive reference is a useful resource for graduate students and researchers in the atmospheric and ocean sciences.
- Includes a comprehensive review of the defining aspects of the climate in individual ocean basins, including mean states, seasonable cycles and variability, which provide the background for analyzing interactions with other basins
- Introduces the theories of remote teleconnections by atmospheric and oceanic bridges, and of local atmosphere-ocean feedbacks, providing a solid grounding in the theory needed to understand key topics in climate variability
- Discusses the interactions between the tropical oceans, as well as those between polar oceans and surrounding basins, from a multidisciplinary perspective including enhancements of climate predictability
- Reviews impacts of these interactions on continental monsoons
