This book is an eyewitness report about the fascinating science of DCV.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProf. Dr. Mojib Latif, GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel, Germany\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"We are becoming used to the fact that the climate is changing due to human influences, but in our lifetimes most of us will be much more affected by decadal climate variability. This book provides a comprehensive review, covering DCV in the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans as well as in tropical cyclones and extratropical winds. Highlighted throughout the book are potential links between DCV and solar variability, a fascinating topic that has engaged our minds for centuries. Written by an expert with more than 30 years’ experience, this book should be an invaluable resource for students and researchers interested in how our climate will evolve over the coming decades.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDr. Doug Smith, Met Office Hadley Centre, UK\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Provides a comprehensive account of decadal time-scale variations in the global and regional climate, that are of societal relevance. There is a detailed discussion on solar influences on the Earth’s climate variability, along with supporting examples of natural DCV and their interactions with human-induced climate change. This book will be useful for policy makers also.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDr. Krishnan Raghavan, Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, Pune, India\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"This book is a tour de force by the author who has spent his career studying decadal climate variability. He brings new insights to the vast scope of this topic, providing clearly understandable descriptions of the various aspects. This compelling treatment of a highly relevant area of climate science will clarify these complex topics for readers who have varying familiarities with science. The book can be read as not only a general overview of decadal climate variability, but also as a primer on the scientific details of such variability and predictions. Additionally, it serves as a guide to the impacts that arise as a consequence of climate variability on the timescales of seasons to decades.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDr. Gerald Meehl, Senior Scientist, National Center for Atmospheric Research, Colorado, USA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrologue.
