Overview

Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series, Volume 55. The articles in this monograph are focused on the effects of climate variability within the region between the central Pacific and the Western Americas. Since climate fluctuations involve a wide spectrum of geophysical and biological phenomena, the authors of these articles cover several disciplines. Like the climate itself, the temporal and spatial scales addressed by these articles are broad. The time span of the variations described in this volume ranges from studies of instrumental records, to investigations of proxy indications of variability over the last several thousand years. The area covered varies from local measurements at a single station to arrays of observations that cover the entire west coast of North America. However, without exception, the fluctuations discussed are related to climate phenomena of even larger dimensions: hemispheric, if not global, variability of the climate system.
