Abstract:
We plan to study the intraseasonal and interannual variability as well as interdecadal changes in the turbulent fluxes (latent, sensible) and related quantities wind stress, humidity and SST in the IPCC climate models. Our region of interest is the equatorial Pacific zone, the cold tongue and the warm pool. We will use higher order statistical methods and wherever possible comparison to observational data.
