Proceedings of the Annual Climate Diagnostics Workshop (6th), Held at the Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory, Columbia University, Palisades, New York on October 14-16, 1981

摘要

The Sixth Annual Climate Diagnostics Workshop was held at the Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory of Columbia University at Palisades, New York on October 14-16, 1981. The Workshop began with the review of the past year's climate (Session 1) and continued in Session 2 with analyses of some additional recent climate variations and other circulation relationships. Session 3 was devoted primarily to this year's special topic, land-surface conditions and short-term climate fluctuations. Tropical-middle latitude interrelationships dominated Session 4, while Session 5 contained a mixture of topics including radiation budget and observational-analysis problems. Session 6 had climate prediction as its principal topic although it also included a more general consideration of statistical significance of correlated meteorological data and some diagnostic energetics of the European Center's medium range forecasts.
