... The point of the matter is further clarified when we make similar composites for SST and sea surface height (Figs. 5 and 6, pages 21 & 22). The SST compos- ites (Fig. 5a and 5b) for all IOD events show dipole ... See full document

... To ensure the robustness of the teleconnection shown above, we have also used the last 21-year (1979- 1999) to obtain composites of the 850mb wind and the CMAP rainfall, which is only available for this latter of the ... See full document

... Focusing on the altimetric drift rate estimates as- sumes that the altimetric data are already quite repeat- able; i.e., that the precision of these data is very good. Fu et al. (1994) provide a summary of results from ... See full document

... The TAV seems to be associated with ENSO in the model. The squared coherence spectrum of the Niño3 SST with the NTA, EQA and STA SSTs shows that these three tropical Atlantic modes are highly correlated with ENSO at ... See full document
