The rudiments of the way in which dynamical systems theory is starting to provide an understanding of this vast range of variability are outlined, including how interdecadal oscillations in the ocean’s circulation arise by Hopf bifurcation.
Pre-1866 extensions of the Southern oscillation index using early Indonesian and Tahitian meteorological readings
- G. Können, P. Jones, M. Kaltofen, R. Allan
- Environmental Science
- 1 September 1998
Pressure data from Indonesia and Tahiti for years before 1866 are used to extend the Southern Oscillation index (SOI) back to 1841, with a gap between 1861 and 1865. Further extension is possible…
Signals of anthropogenic influence on European warming as seen in the trend patterns of daily temperature variance
- A. K. Klein Tank, G. Können, F. Selten
- Environmental Science
- 1 January 2005
Signals of anthropogenic warming over Europe are searched for in the spatial trend patterns for the variance and skewness (expressed by the 10th and 90th percentiles) of the distribution of daily…
Empirical estimation of the effect of urban heat advection on the temperature series of De Bilt (The Netherlands)
- T. Brandsma, G. Können, H. Wessels
- Environmental Science
- 15 June 2003
The influence of urban heat advection on the temperature time series of the Dutch GCOS station De Bilt has been studied empirically by comparing the hourly meteorological observations (1993–2000)…
Trends in storminess over the Netherlands, 1962–2002
- A. Smits, A. K. Klein Tank, G. Können
- Environmental Science
- 1 August 2005
Trends in the annual number of independent wind events over the Netherlands are studied for the period 1962–2002. The events are selected out of 13 hourly 10 m wind speed records that are part of a…
CLIWOC: A Climatological Database for the World's Oceans 1750–1854
- R. Garcia-Herrera, G. Können, D. A. Wheeler, M. Prieto, P. Jones, F. Koek
- Environmental Science
- 1 November 2005
We have compiled a meteorological database over the world's oceans by digitizing data from European ship logbooks of voyages in the period 1750–1854. The observations are carefully reviewed and…
