Atmospheric Oscillations: Sources of Subseasonal-to-Seasonal Variability and Predictability provides a thorough examination of various atmospheric oscillations of scientific and societal importance in the context of natural climate variability and anthropogenic climate change. Included are introductions to each phenomenon, overviews of the state of knowledge, in-depth analyses of relevant dynamical processes, and discussions of the impacts on weather and climate and implications for subseasonal-to-seasonal predictions and predictability. Written by an international team of experts in the fields of atmospheric and planetary sciences, each chapter of the book either focuses on a specific atmospheric oscillation or explores the interaction between multiple oscillations.
Section I: Introduction 1. Oscillations as a central theme in atmospheric variability: weaving together oscillations, cycles, instability, wave propagation and circulation regimes Section II: Tropics 2. Madden-Julian Oscillation 3. Boreal summer intraseasonal oscillation 4. Quasi-biweekly mode of the South Asian monsoon 5. Convectively coupled equatorial waves Section III: Extratropics 6. North Pacific Oscillation 7. Pacific-North American pattern 8. Pacific-South American pattern 9. East Atlantic and Scandinavian patterns 10. Northern Annular Mode 11. Southern Annular Mode 12. Global Wind Oscillation Section IV: Stratosphere 13. Quasi-Biennial Oscillation 14. Stratospheric polar vortex variability Section V: Interactions 15. Stratosphere-troposphere interactions: the influence of Quasi-Biennial Oscillation on Madden-Julian Oscillation 16. Tropics-extratropics interactions: the influence of Madden-Julian Oscillation on annular modes 17. Ocean-atmosphere interactions: Madden-Julian Oscillation and El Ni?o-Southern Oscillation Section VI: Beyond Earth 18. Equatorial stratospheric oscillations in planetary atmospheres 19. Oscillations in terrestrial planetary atmospheres Section VII: Conclusion 20. Concluding remarks and future perspectives
