Eddy memory as an explanation of intra-seasonal periodic behavior in baroclinic eddies
Woosok Moon, Georgy E. Manucharyan, Henk A. Dijkstra
The baroclinic annular mode (BAM) is a leading-order mode of the eddy-kinetic energy in the Southern Hemisphere exhibiting. oscillatory behavior at intra-seasonal time scales. The…
A Non-Gaussian Stochastic Model for the El Niño Southern Oscillation
L. T. Giorgini, W. Moon, N. Chen +1
A non-autonomous stochastic dynamical model approach is developed to describe the seasonal to interannual variability of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). We determine the m…
Coupling functions in climate
Woosok Moon, John S. Wettlaufer
We examine how coupling functions in the theory of dynamical systems provide a quantitative window into climate dynamics. Previously we have shown that a one-dimensional periodic n…
An intrinsic pink-noise multi-decadal global climate dynamics mode
W. Moon, S. Agarwal, J. S. Wettlaufer
Understanding multi-decadal variability is an essential goal of climate dynamics. For example, the recent phenomenon referred to as the "global warming hiatus" may reflect a coupli…
