Pre-1866 Extensions of the Southern Oscillation Index Using Early Indonesian and Tahitian Meteorological Readings

Historical trends and future predictions of climate variability in the Brahmaputra basin

“…It is expected that precipitation in the basin is related to ENSO conditions and the thermal gradient between the FP and the TP. To explain precipitation patterns linear regressions were performed to identify relations between the monthly JJAS monsoon precipitation in the TP, the HB and the FP and the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) (Können et al, 1998), the NINO3 index (Rayner et al, 2003) and 1901 1911 1921 1931 1941 1951 1961 1971 1981 1991 2001 1901 1911 1921 1931 1941 1951 1961 1971 1981 1991 the temperature difference between the FP and the TP ( T FP −T P ). GCM monthly precipitation and temperature fields from six different models from 2002 to 2100 are used to analyse the A2 and B2 storylines (Parry, 2002).…”

Explaining Extreme Events of 2014 from a Climate Perspective

“…Climatol. ;Können et al 1998). We use the data starting at 1900 because of evidence of a discontinuity before that (Siswanto et al 2015, manuscript submitted to Int.…”

Reconstructing El Niño Southern Oscillation using data from ships’ logbooks, 1815–1854. Part II: Comparisons with existing ENSO reconstructions and implications for reconstructing ENSO diversity

“…Four historical reconstructions of the boreal winter, December, January, February (DJF), SOI, were presented in B16 using methods of principal component regression (PCR) and composite-plus-scale (CPS). The logbook-based reconstructions were found to have good agreement with a Jakarta-based SOI, which uses rain-day counts, from 1830 to 1850 (Können et al 1998), suggesting a common signal from these early observationbased records. The reconstructions from ships' logbooks will here be compared to previous proxy and documentary-based reconstructions of ENSO, in order to add to the understanding of ENSO variability during the early to midnineteenth century.…”
