Atmospheric Oscillations: Sources of Subseasonal-to-Seasonal Variability and Predictability provides a thorough examination of various atmospheric oscillations of scientific and societal importance in the context of natural climate variability and anthropogenic climate change. Included are introductions to each phenomenon, overviews of the state of knowledge, in-depth analyses of relevant dynamical processes, and discussions of the impacts on weather and climate and implications for subseasonal-to-seasonal predictions and predictability.

Written by an international team of experts in the fields of atmospheric and planetary sciences, each chapter of the book either focuses on a specific atmospheric oscillation or explores the interaction between multiple oscillations.

Comprehensive account of various atmospheric oscillations across different regions and subseasonal-to-seasonal time scales
Detailed examination of each atmospheric oscillation alone as well as key examples of their interactions
In-depth analysis and discussion of relevant dynamical processes and implications for weather and climate predictions

Dr. Bin Guan is a Researcher (Full Professor equivalent) at the Joint Institute for Regional Earth System Science and Engineering, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), with a background in atmospheric and oceanic science. His research focuses on high-impact weather and climate events and their interdisciplinary implications. He has served on the American Meteorological Society’s (AMS) Committee on Climate Variability and Change, its membership subcommittee, and the drafting committee for updating the AMS Statement on Weather Analysis and Forecasting. He received the 2018 Climate Science Service Award from the California Department of Water Resources and was named Outstanding Reviewer of 2019 by the American Geophysical Union. He has authored more than 80 peer-reviewed publications, with an h-index of 34. He earned his BS degree from Nanjing University, MPhil from the City University of Hong Kong, and PhD from the University of Maryland, College Park. He was a postdoctoral scholar at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology before joining UCLA.
