Seasonal variability and predictability of monsoon precipitation in Southern Africa Open
Rainfed agriculture is the mainstay of economies across Southern Africa (SA), where most precipitation is received during the austral summer monsoon. This study aims to further our understanding of monsoon precipitation predictability over…

The influence of natural variability on extreme monsoons in Pakistan Open
The monsoons in Pakistan have been exceptionally harsh in recent decades, resulting in extraordinary drought conditions and record flooding events. The changing characteristics of extreme events are widely attributed to climate change. How…

Seasonal variability and predictability of monsoon precipitation in Southern Africa Open
Rainfed agriculture is the mainstay of economies across Southern Africa, where most precipitation is received during the austral summer monsoon. Despite that, seasonal precipitation predictability in Southern Africa is less explored. Here …

Winter precipitation predictability in Central Southwest Asia and its representation in seasonal forecast systems Open
In Central Southwest Asia (CSWA), winter precipitation contributes significantly to the annual mean, but substantial interannual variations exist. Dynamical models exhibit subpar predictability in this region, but it still needs to be esta…

The influence of natural variability on extreme monsoons in Pakistan Open
The monsoons in Pakistan have been exceptionally harsh in recent decades, resulting in extraordinary drought conditions and record flooding events. The changing frequency of extreme events is widely attributed to climate change. However, g…

Precipitation teleconnections during 1950-2021 over the Arabian Peninsula Open
This study investigates precipitation variability over the Arabian Peninsula (AP) during its wet season. The wet season is split into winter (November – February) and spring (March and April) seasons, and early (1950–1986) and late (1986–2…

Moisture Sources for Precipitation Variability over the Arabian Peninsula Open
We apply the Lagrangian-based moisture back trajectory method to two reanalysis datasets to determine the moisture sources for wet season precipitation over the Arabian Peninsula, defined as land on the Asian Continent to the south of the …

Modeling Seasonal Sudden Stratospheric Warming Climatology Based on Polar Vortex Statistics Open
This study investigates the climatological frequency distribution of sudden stratospheric warmings (SSWs). General circulation models (GCMs) tend to produce SSW maxima later in winter than observations, which has been considered as a model…
