The ENSO transition probabilities
ENSO is investigated here by considering it as a transition from different states. Transition probability matrices can be defined to describe the evolution of ENSO in this way....- publication PDF

The shape-slope relation in observed gamma raindrop size distributions:...
The three-parameter gamma distribution n( D) 5 N0Dmu exp(-LambdaD) is often used to characterize a raindrop size distribution ( DSD). The parameters m and L correspond to the...- publication PDF

Nonstationary modeling for multivariate spatial processes
We derive a class of matrix valued covariance functions where the direct and cross-covariance functions are Matérn. The parameters of the Matérn class are allowed to vary with...- publication PDF

Impacts of atmospheric temperature trends on tropical cyclone activity
Impacts of tropical temperature changes in the upper troposphere (UT) and the tropical tropopause layer (TTL) on tropical cyclone (TC) activity are explored. UT and lower TTL...- publication PDF

Changing seasonal sea ice predictor relationships in a changing Arctic climate
Seasonal predictions of Arctic sea ice conditions often rely on statistical relationships of a set of predictors that have shown skill for historical conditions. However, with...- publication PDF
