Included are introductions to each phenomenon, an overview of the state of knowledge, in-depth analysis of relevant dynamical processes, and discussions of the impacts on weather and climate and implications to 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 the interaction between multiple oscillations.
- Includes a comprehensive accounting of various atmospheric oscillations across different regions and subseasonal-to-seasonal time scales
- Presents a detailed examination of each atmospheric oscillation, along with key examples of their interactions
- Provides an in-depth analysis and discussion of relevant dynamical processes and implications to weather and climate predictions
