英文摘要:

Climatic trends in observed and reanalysis data 1980-2014 are mapped to describe spatial structure in the central Caribbean and for guidance on future conditions. Surface air temperatures averaged over the study area 16-22 degrees N, 80-68 degrees W exhibit trends of +.02 degrees C/year, that relate to radiative forcing by greenhouse gases and changes in atmospheric subsidence. Rainfall trends for the Antilles Islands are weakly upward around the Windward Passage 18-20.5 degrees N, 78-73 degrees W and downward to the east 18-20 degrees N, 72-68 degrees W. Spatial trends in air temperatures exhibit a steeper increase over the islands and away from the Windward Passage. Trends in satellite vegetation fraction are upward along the coast and coincide with rising latent heat flux especially west of Hispaniola. An accelerating Hadley circulation exhibits subsidence, warming and drying above 850hPa. Near the surface, there is a trend of northeasterly winds channeled through the Windward Passage and increased moisture benefiting shallow convection. The research uncovers mesoscale structure in climate change through interaction of wind and rainfall trends.
