Climate Variability and Predictability at Various Time Scales

Description

Climate variability and predictability is a core component of climate dynamics. Recent advances in climate sciences have introduced new theories and technologies in detecting, diagnosing, analyzing, and predicting the climate variability on various time scales ranging from intraseasonal, seasonal, interannual, and decadal-interdecadal time scales.

We invite researchers to contribute original research articles as well as review articles that will stimulate the continuing efforts to understand and predict climate variability on various time scales. Results from observation diagnostic, modeling, model intercomparison, and theoretical approaches are all welcome. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Modeling and diagnosing climate variability on various time scales using either observations or models, or both, such as MJO (Madden-Julian Oscillation), AO (Artic Oscillation), ENSO (El Nino and Southern Oscillation), IOD (Indian Ocean Dipole), PDO (Pacific Decadal Oscillation), and AMO (Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation)
  • Predicting climate variability on various time scales and studying potential predictability of the earth system. Especially welcome are the contributions on ensemble and initialization techniques, forecast verification and skill assessment, and also the assessment of prediction uncertainty, the measure of potential predictability, and the estimate of the linear and nonlinear optimal growth of prediction errors

Before submission authors should carefully read over the journal's Author Guidelines, which are located at http://www.hindawi.com/journals/amet/guidelines/. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal Manuscript Tracking System at http://mts.hindawi.com/ according to the following timetable:
