RISENSO Suppression due to Weakening of the North Atlantic Thermohaline Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Changes of the North Atlantic thermohaline circulation (THC) excite wave patterns that readjust the thermocline globally. This paper examines the impact of a freshwater-induced THC shutdown on the depth of the Pacific ...
Low-Frequency Variability of Temperature in the Vicinity of the Equatorial Pacific Thermocline in SODA: Role of Equatorial Wave Dynamics and ENSO Asymmetry
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Simple Ocean Data Assimilation (SODA) reanalysis (1958?2001) is used to investigate the decadal variability in the equatorial thermocline in the Pacific. Whereas the thermocline depth exhibits weak variation at decadal ...
The Effect of Orbital Forcing on the Mean Climate and Variability of the Tropical Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Using a coupled general circulation model, the responses of the climate mean state, the annual cycle, and the El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon to orbital changes are studied. The authors analyze a 1650-yr-long ...
The Influence of a Weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation on ENSO
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The influences of a substantial weakening of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) on the tropical Pacific climate mean state, the annual cycle, and ENSO variability are studied using five different coupled ...
