The book presents a series of comprehensive reviews on therelationship between changes in atmospheric circulations andchanges in sea surface temperatures (SST), soil moisture,sea ice and snow. The influence of each of these boundaryconditions is reviewed separately and based on the analysisof observations and sensitivity experiments with globalclimatemodels. Tropical SST anomalies have a profoundeffect on tropical circulation and rainfall; in some casesthey also influence the extra-tropical atmosphericcirculation.The most important conclusion ofthe book is that formonthly and seasonal predictions it is extremely importantthat the observed initial state of the atmosphere and theboundary conditions of SST - soil wetness, sea ice, snowdepth and snow cover - be mutually consistent with eachother. |
