2006 Annual Mean Aerosol Optical Depth at 550 nm from MODIS February 18, 2007 —
The figure shows the annual mean aerosol optical depth at 550 nm (AOD), calculated from daily MODIS 10 km retrievals. The algorithm used to derived these AOD is the new Collection 005 code, which represents a major change from previous collections. Note . . . [continued]
The Influence of Local Sea-Surface Temperatures on Rainfall February 4, 2007 —
Monthly to seasonal precipitation anomalies over the ocean are caused by local Sea Surface Temperature (SST) anomalies and large-scale atmospheric circulation anomalies that can often be related to large-scale SST anomalies. Using our General Circulation . . . [continued]
