The Key Role of Ozone-Depleting Substances in Weakening the Walker Circulation in the Second Half of the Twentieth Century
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: It is widely appreciated that ozone-depleting substances (ODS), which have led to the formation of the Antarctic ozone hole, are also powerful greenhouse gases. In this study, we explore the consequence of the surface ...
Simulating the Role of Subtropical Stratocumulus Clouds in Driving Pacific Climate Variability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study examines the influence of the northeast and southeast Pacific subtropical stratocumulus cloud regions on the modes of Pacific climate variability simulated by an atmospheric general circulation model (ECHAM6) ...
Low-Pass Filtering, Heat Flux, and Atlantic Multidecadal Variability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstarctIn this model study the authors explore the possibility that the internal component of the Atlantic multidecadal oscillation (AMO) sea surface temperature (SST) signal is indistinguishable from the response to white ...
Observational and Model Estimates of Cloud Amount Feedback over the Indian and Pacific Oceans
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: onstraining intermodel spread in cloud feedback with observations is problematic because available cloud datasets are affected by spurious behavior in long-term variability. This problem is addressed by examining cloud ...
The Influence of Cloud Feedbacks on Equatorial Atlantic Variability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: bservations show that cloud feedback over the Namibian stratocumulus region is positive because cloud cover is anticorrelated with local sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies. Moreover, regressions of observed atmospheric ...
Ocean Complexity Shapes Sea Surface Temperature Variability in a CESM2 Coupled Model Hierarchy
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Challenges and Prospects for Reducing Coupled Climate Model SST Biases in the Eastern Tropical Atlantic and Pacific Oceans: The U.S. CLIVAR Eastern Tropical Oceans Synthesis Working Group
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ell-known problems trouble coupled general circulation models of the eastern Atlantic and Pacific Ocean basins. Model climates are significantly more symmetric about the equator than is observed. Model sea surface temperatures ...
