The Impact of Snow Cover Anomalies on Interannual Northern Hemisphere Climate Variability

题目：积雪异常对北半球气候年际变率的影响本文提出的工作旨在建立北半球积雪和地表强迫与季节-年际气候变率的联系。将根据陆地-大气相互作用发展一个概念性模式，该模式将解释与北大西洋涛动等大气模式有关的气候变率的很大一部分。将研究概念模式作为季节到年际预报系统基础的方法。这项工作很重要，因为它将使人们更好地了解雪在气候中的作用。

AbstractATM-9902433Cohen, JudahAtmospheric & Environmnetal Research, Inc.Title: The Impact of Snow Anomalies on Interannual Northern Hemisphere Climate VariabilityThe proposed work aims at establishing the snow cover and land surface forcing link to seasonal-interannual climate variability in the Northern Hemisphere. A conceptual model will be developed based on land-atmosphere interactions that will explain a significant portion of the climate variability associated with such modes of the atmosphere as the North Atlantic Oscillation. The ways in which the conceptual model could serve as the basis for a seasonal to an interannual forecast system will be investigated. The work is important because it will yield improved understanding of the role of snow in climate.
