2 Heat waves Storm track variations Madden-Julian Oscillation Intrinsic monsoon variability Drought Timescales (Adapted from a Roger Pulwarty presentation) El Niño-Southern Oscillation Pacific Decadal Oscillation Tropical Atlantic variability Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation West Pacific Warm Pool variability Intrinsic monsoon variability Solar variability Greenhouse gases Natural and anthropogenic aerosols Land use-cover changes!"#$%"%$$&'" ()""!"#$%"'$!')*'"!"#$%"'$!')*'" ()""!"#$%"+$!,'"!"#$%"+$!,'" ()""!"#$%"-$.!-$'" MULTIYEAR Focus of this talk
3 Causes of Multiyear to Multidecadal Droughts
4 Causes of Multiyear to Multidecadal Droughts Variability/changes in atmospheric circulation and precipitation patterns driven by variability/ changes in oceanic heating
5 Causes of Multiyear to Multidecadal Droughts Variability of solar radiative, particulate, and electromagnetic field outputs
6 Causes of Multiyear to Multidecadal Droughts Positive feedback between soil moisture patterns and overlying atmospheric circulations
7 Causes of Multiyear to Multidecadal Droughts Changes in land use patterns, overgrazing, deforestation
8 Causes of Multiyear to Multidecadal Droughts Natural aerosols (such as volcanic matter and desert dust) Anthropogenic aerosols (such as industrial and vehicular emissions)
9 Major Ocean Temperature Patterns Causing Multiyear to Multidecadal Droughts
10 Warm/cold surface water in much of the Pacific Ocean Observed Pacific Decadal Oscillation SST Pattern: Positive/warm phase Negative/cold phase Courtesy: Nathan Mantua, Stephen Hare Univ. of Washington Anomalous SST patterns Monthly Pacific Decadal Oscillation index: Warm/cold phases persist for a few years to a few decades
11 Observed Tropical Atlantic SST Gradient Variability Pattern: Crossequatorial SST gradient points south-tonorth or northto-south for a few years to a decade!"#$%&! '()*+,-"%.#+ Substantial SST anomalies ( o C) associated with one standard deviation in the time series below
12 Tropical Warm Pool definition: SST above 28.5 C Observed West Pacific Warm Pool Average SST Pattern Average Warm Pool SSTs ( C) Substantial increase in atmospheric convection and clouds when SST above 28.5 C
13 Observed West Pacific Warm Pool SST Anomaly Time Series Original and detrended time series Indo-Pacific Warm Pool becoming warmer over the last 50 years; also, multi-year to decadal variability
14 How does SST variability influence climate on continents? SST variability modulates transfers of heat and water vapor between ocean and atmosphere modulating cloud formation, rainfall, and largescale atmospheric motions influencing water vapor and heat transport to and pressure, temperature and winds over continents resulting in precipitation and temperature variability on continents.
15 PDO Associations between major SST patterns and anomalous Self-Calibrating PDSI Variability Red Dry, Blue Wet in Positive Phase of SST Pattern Trop Atl Warm Pool Niño 3.4
16 SST Patterns Prescribed in Experiments to Simulate Interannual to Decadal Droughts (From: Schubert et al., J. Clim., 2009) Red, Warming Warming trend Red, Warm Blue, Cool Red, Warm PDO-like pattern Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation pattern
17 (From: Schubert et al., J. Clim., 2009) Cold Pacific, Warm Atlantic Simulated SST Impacts on US Great Plains Precipitation and Temperature Models GFDL AM2.1 NCEP GFS v.2 NASA NSIPP 1 NCAR CCM 3.0 NCAR CAM3.5 Warm Pacific, Cold Atlantic Dry and hot US Great Plains Wet and cool US Great Plains
18 Major drought patterns are forced by major SST patterns.
19 Skillful drought predictability depends critically on skillful predictability of major SST patterns.
20 Understanding physics of teleconnections between SST patterns and drought patterns is very important.
21 Predictability of Past Droughts: Preliminary Results from CMIP5 Experiments
22 Problems in producing decadal climate outlooks (From: Mehta et al., Bull. Amer. Meteorol. Soc., 2011) Data: Relatively short time series of ocean observations!! Analysis and interpretation: Coupled ocean-atmosphere modes with distinct timescales? Mechanisms?!! Models: Inadequate simulation of observed patterns and their modulation of weather!! Predictability: Is climate predictable beyond a few seasons lead times?!! Usefulness of predictions: What would be useful? Who would use predictions?!
23 Recently Published Interannual to Decadal Climate Predictability Findings Authors Smith et al., Science, 2007 Keenlyside et al., Nature, 2008 Pohlmann et al., J. Climate, 2009 Coelho and Goddard, J. Climate, 2009 Oldenborgh et al., Climate Dynamics, 2012 Yang et al., J. Climate, 2013 Mehta et al., Geophys. Res. Lett., 2013 Major Finding Skillful prediction of decadal, global-average temperature possible Skillful prediction of decadal, North Atlantic SSTs possible Patterns, magnitudes, and spatial extents of ENSOrelated droughts likely to remain same in 21 st century Skillful prediction of northern North Atlantic SSTs possible Inter-hemispheric, multidecadal SST pattern may be predictable 4-10 years in advance Significant, but variable decadal hindcast skill of global- and tropical ocean basin-average SSTs during 1961 to 2010; volcanic eruptions play an important role in providing skill!
24 WCRP Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 5 (CMIP5) Two sets of core decadal prediction experiments (Taylor et al., 2008; cmip-pcmdi.llnl.gov/cmip5), Meehl et al., BAMS, 2009) First set: A series of 10-year hindcasts starting approximately in 1960 Second set: A series of 30-year hindcasts starting in 1960, 1980, 2005 Volcanic aerosols and solar cycle prescribed from past observations Each experiment has a minimum ensemble size of three members; ten members in some models ensembles Outputs of both sets of experiments, containing a very large number of ocean-atmosphere-land variables, available for many participating models Results to be used in the IPCC Assessment Report 5 ( )

37 Summary Several natural and anthropogenic causes of multiyear to multidecadal droughts Pacific and Atlantic Ocean temperature variability most clearly associated with droughts Predictability and prediction of these temperature patterns key to drought predictability and prediction at multiyear to multidecadal timescales Very encouraging preliminary results of multiyear to decadal drought hindcasting using output from WCRP s CMIP5 project
38 Point To Ponder Prediction of impacts and continuous interactions with stakeholders vital for success of drought policies guided by drought prediction and other information.
39 Decadal Drought and Impacts Information for Decision Support in the Missouri River Basin DCV phenomena Influences on Basin hydrometeorology Applications In various sectors Influences on Agriculture Urban water Industries Navigation Recreation Others Rural and urban economies; Local, regional, national, international economies Adaptation strategies via understanding, prediction, and scenario development Data, information, and decisionsupport systems Active involvement of stakeholders and policymakers
