The obtained systematic (regular) TEC variations (diurnal, seasonal patterns) conform to the known tendencies described by climatological TEC models.
Durack et al.4 used an empirical method to infer global water cycle intensification from the Pattern Amplification (PA) of Sea Surface Salinity (SSS; surface being defined as the shallowest 10 m), defined as the slope of the linear regression by basin zonal averages of SSS change versus the climatological mean SSS anomaly from the global climatological SSS.
A second set of simulations driven by climatological SST values was performed for the same period.
According to the Oklahoma Climatological Society, almost the entire state is experiencing severe drought that is expected to last at least through the fall.
For example, the SST for March, 2030 in a given scenario is the sum of the March SST in the satellite climatology and the difference between the simulated SST for March, 2030 and the simulated climatological SST for March.
The frequency of weekly sea surface temperature anomalies (WSSTA) was defined as the number of times over the previous 52 weeks that the weekly sea surface temperature (SST) minus the weekly climatological SST, equaled or exceeded 1°C [41].
Other researchers have used a model of the zonal and meridional wind profiles for each month using available climatological information (Forbes, 1982a, 1982b; Fleming et al., 1988; Fleming and Chandra, 1989; Chandra et al., 1990).

Furthermore, other studies12 indicate that aridity overrides the climatological sensitivity of NEE to temperature in dry areas.
