The vector windsclimatology at 850hPa and 200hPa reveals some comparable patterns in both HadAM3 andNCEP. However, there are indications that the Somali Jet appears earlier and the monsooneasterly winds over the western Indian Ocean are weaker in HadAM3 than in NCEP.Empirical Orthogonal Functions (EOF) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) derivedfrom the GPCP precipitation and NCEP Outgoing Longwave Radiation (OLR) andgeopotential anomalies were also compared to those from the HadAM3 model. 2014-08-13T19:49:19Z 2014-08-13T19:49:19Z 2006 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/6488 eng application/pdf Department of Oceanography Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
