We provide here the final report corresponding to the physical part of this project. This part was directed by the P.I., Michael Ghil, at UCLA. The P.I. and collaborators, at UCLA and in France, have improved their understanding of mid-latitude atmospheric phenomena influenced by thermal oceanic fronts. They have also deepened the understanding of decadal variability of the oceans' double-gyre circulation. Prof. Roger Temam at Indiana University directed the mathematical part of the project, and the final report for this part was submitted in 2007. The physical part suffered in its third year from under-performance of a post-doc and thus required a no-cost extension. The results during the fourth and final year were more than satisfactory, as reported below. The final result is an emerging theory of the North Atlantic Oscillation and its downstream effects over Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Middle East.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
