Author:Malherbe, Johan; Smit, IDate:Sep 2018We consider rainfall variability over the Lowveld in northeastern South Africa during the last 8 decades and demonstrate the persistence of a bi-decadal rainfall cycle in the region. We also note associations with the Southern Annular Mode ...Read more
Author:Engelbrecht, CJ; Landman, WADate:Sep 2015The link between interannual variability of seasonal rainfall over the Cape south coast of South Africa and different synoptic types as well as selected teleconnections is explored. Synoptic circulation over the region is classified into ...Read more
Author:Malherbe, Johan; Engelbrecht, FA; Landman, WADate:Mar 2014Synoptic weather data and rainfall records are used to support previous suggestions that the decadal-scale cycle in certain climate records may be attributed to the modulation in tidal forcing related to the 18.6 year lunar nodal cycle. The ...Read more
Author:Domingues, R; Goni, G; Swart, S; Dong, SDate:Feb 2014The variability of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) system is largely linked to the atmospheric forcing. The objective of this work is to assess the link between local wind forcing mechanisms and the variability of the upper-ocean ...Read more
