The analysis of univariate or multivariate time series provides crucial information to describe,
understand, and predict climatic variability. The discovery and implementation of a number …

The climate is a forced, dissipative, nonlinear, complex, and heterogeneous system that is
out of thermodynamic equilibrium. The system exhibits natural variability on many scales of …

In the? rst edition of this book (publishedby Kluwer Academic in November 2000) the
methodology of dynamical systems theory was introduced and appli-cations of this theory to …

Low-frequency variability of the Kuroshio Extension (KE) is studied using observations and a
multidecadal (1950–2003) hindcast by a high-resolution (0.1°), eddy-resolving, global …

Transitions are to be found throughout the natural world. The laws of nature are usually
represented by differential equations, which can be regarded as dynamical systems—both …

Basin-scale variations in oceanic physical variables are thought to organize patterns of
biological response across the Pacific Ocean over decadal time scales. Different physical …

A review is made of circulation and currents in the southwestern East/Japan Sea (the
Ulleung Basin), and the Korea/Tsushima Strait which is a unique conduit for surface inflow …

Oceanic variability on interannual, interdecadal, and longer timescales plays a key role in
climate variability and climate change. Paleoclimatic records suggest major changes in the …

Abstract The Kuroshio Extension and its recirculation gyre form an interconnected dynamic
system. The system is located at a crossroads where the meso-scale and large-scale …

The South China Sea (SCS) summer circulation often has a dipole structure associated with
an eastward jet, appearing off central Vietnam. The dipole has an anticyclonic eddy (AE) …
