Interannualvariability of wind speed and wind power at five tall-tower sites in Minnesota (1996-2001)
Interannualvariability ; Methodology ; Minnesota ; United States of America ; Wind ; Wind energy ; Wind speed ; Years 1990-99
The AA. use wind speed measurements from 1996-2001 at 70 m above ground (a typical wind turbine height) to investigate interannualvariability in wind speed and wind power at 5 sites in Minnesota, and to determine whether the sites have similar
patterns of variability. They use the standard deviation (computed from mean hourly data) as a measure of within-year variability because squared differences emphasize the effects of the long tails of the wind speed and wind power distributions.
Interannualvariability and annual cycle: mechanisms of circulation and climate in the tropical Atlantic sector
General circulation mechanisms instrumental in both annual cycle and interannualvariability of rainfall are studied with reference to key regions of the tropical Americas and Africa. For most of these regions, rainfall anomalies tend
to be associated with departures in the large-scale atmospheric and oceanic fields that correspond to the pattern changes in the annual alternation of dry and rainy seasons. The interannualvariability of circulation and climate thus appears in large part
A climatology of northwest Missouri snowfall events : long-term trends and interannualvariability

Climate Center. This included a study of the long-term trends and interannualvariability in snowfall occurence as related to sea surface temperature variations in the Pacific Ocean basin associated with the El Niño and Southern Oscillation (ENSO
Daily air temperature variability associated with climatic variability at Colombus, Ohio
The purpose is to determine how the frequency of daily extremes of temperature are related to the seasonal mean temperature, its interannualvariability and longer term variations among decades. The warmest winters and summers at Columbus occur

Causes of interannualvariability in the sea-ice cover of the eastern Bering Sea
Interannualvariability in air temperatures, ice cover, and surface winds in the Bering Sea generally are in phase with each other, whereas sea-surface temperatures (SST) tend to lag these variables by 1-3 months. These Bering Sea time-series
Interannual to interdecadal variations of the regionalized surface climate of the United States and relationships to generalized flow parameters

This analysis attempts to discern primary causes of interannual and interdecadal climate variations for precipitation and temperature regions of the conterminous United States. To determine the causes of the derived climate shifts, correlation

more significant interannual variations than the Japanese Alps, reflecting the large variability of the annual snow regime.
This paper describes up to ten years of continuous monitoring of frost heave, creep and associated parameters on high mountain crest slopes in the Japanese and Swiss Alps, aiming to evaluate spatial and interannual variations in the rates
and controls of soil movement. Soil movements recur in every freeze-thaw period, although with some interannual variations affected by the length of seasonal snow cover and the occurrence of precipitation during freeze-thaw periods. The Swiss Alps encounter

In order to better understand the natural background variability of lake areas, the AA. used Landsat 7 images obtained on 11 dates from 1999 to 2002 to quantify the intra- and interannual lake area variability for a 4224 km2 study area within
the Yukon Flats. Both intra- and interannual area variability in August and September were smaller than in June and July, suggesting that images from later in summer are more reliable for detecting long-term change in lake area. Variability of no-closure
