RISClimate Sensitivity to Changes in Ocean Heat Transport
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: sing an atmospheric general circulation model coupled to a slab ocean, the effects of ocean heat transport (OHT) on climate are studied by prescribing OHT from 0 to 2 times the present-day values. In agreement with previous ...
Variability of the South Atlantic Convergence Zone Simulated by an Atmospheric General Circulation Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Interannual and decadal variability of the South Atlantic convergence zone (SACZ) during austral summer [season January?February?March (JFM)] is investigated. An attempt is made to separate the forced variability from the ...
The Freshening of Surface Waters in High Latitudes: Effects on the Thermohaline and Wind-Driven Circulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The impacts of a freshening of surface waters in high latitudes on the deep, slow, thermohaline circulation have received enormous attention, especially the possibility of a shutdown in the meridional overturning that ...
GFDL's CM2 Global Coupled Climate Models. Part II: The Baseline Ocean Simulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The current generation of coupled climate models run at the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) as part of the Climate Change Science Program contains ocean components that differ in almost every respect from those ...
