RISClimate Drift in a Multicentury Integration of the NCAR Climate System Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The National Center for Atmospheric Research?s Climate System Model is a comprehensive model of the physical climate system. A 300-yr integration of the model has been carried out without flux correction. The solution shows ...
A Comparison of Mesoscale Eddy Heat Fluxes from Observations and a High-Resolution Ocean Model Simulation of the Kuroshio Extension
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: or the first time estimates of divergent eddy heat flux (DEHF) from a high-resolution (0.1°) simulation of the Parallel Ocean Program (POP) are compared with estimates made during the Kuroshio Extension System Study (KESS). ...
Bjerknes-like Compensation in the Wintertime North Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: bservational and model evidence has been mounting that mesoscale eddies play an important role in air?sea interaction in the vicinity of western boundary currents and can affect the jet stream storm track. What is less ...
Surface Ocean Fluxes and Water-Mass Transformation Rates in the Coupled NCAR Climate System Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The global distributions of the air?sea fluxes of heat and freshwater and water mass transformation rates from a control integration of the coupled National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Climate System Model (CSM) ...
Application of a Third-Order Upwind Scheme in the NCAR Ocean Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Ocean Model has been developed for use in NCAR?s Climate System Modeling project, a comprehensive development of a coupled ocean?atmosphere?sea ice?land surface model of ...
Can Southern Ocean Eddy Effects Be Parameterized in Climate Models?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: resent-day control and 1% yr?1 increasing carbon dioxide runs have been made using two versions of the Community Climate System Model, version 3.5. One uses the standard versions of the ocean and sea ice components where ...
On the Midlatitude Circulation in a High-Resolution Model of the North Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper describes, and establishes the dynamical mechanisms responsible for, the large-scale, time-mean, midlatitude circulation in a high-resolution model of the North Atlantic basin. The model solution is compared ...
On the Seasonal Cycle of the Tropical South Indian Ocean. Part I: Mixed Layer Heat and Salt Budgets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractScale interactions in the coupled ocean and atmosphere of the tropics play a crucial role in shaping the climate state and its spatial and temporal variability. The mechanisms driving the seasonal cycles of mixed ...
Air–Sea Turbulent Heat Fluxes in Climate Models and Observational Analyses: What Drives Their Variability?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractA traditional view is that the ocean outside of the tropics responds passively to atmosphere forcing, which implies that air?sea heat fluxes are mainly driven by atmosphere variability. This paper tests this viewpoint ...
Climatological Annual Cycle of the Salinity Budgets of the Subtropical Maxima
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ix subtropical salinity maxima (Smax) exist: two each in the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Ocean basins. The north Indian (NI) Smax lies in the Arabian Sea while the remaining five lie in the open ocean. The annual cycle ...
