Included are introductions to each phenomenon, overviews of the state of knowledge, in-depth analyses of relevant dynamical processes, and discussions of the impacts on weather and climate and implications for subseasonal-to-seasonal predictions and predictability.
Written by an international team of experts in the fields of atmospheric and planetary sciences, each chapter of the book either focuses on a specific atmospheric oscillation or explores the interaction between multiple oscillations.
- Comprehensive account of various atmospheric oscillations across different regions and subseasonal-to-seasonal time scales
- Detailed examination of each atmospheric oscillation alone as well as key examples of their interactions
- In-depth analysis and discussion of relevant dynamical processes and implications for weather and climate predictions
Students, researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders in atmospheric sciences and related fields in Earth and planetary sciences, applied mathematics, applied physics, statistics, and data science
