Decadal Variability of the Pacific Shallow Overturning Circulation and the Role of Local Wind Forcing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Relationship between Precipitation in the Great Plains of the United States and Global SSTs: Insights from the IPCC AR4 Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Multicentury preindustrial control simulations from six of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Fourth Assessment Report (IPCC AR4) models are used to examine the relationship between low-frequency precipitation ...
Why Are There Rossby Wave Maxima in the Pacific at 10°S and 13°N?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations indicate the existence of two bands of maximum thermocline depth variability centered at ?10°S and 13°N in the tropical Pacific Ocean. The analysis of a numerical integration performed with the National Center ...

The Nature of the Stochastic Wind Forcing of ENSO
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractEl Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is commonly viewed as a low-frequency tropical mode of coupled atmosphere?ocean variability energized by stochastic wind forcing. Despite many studies, however, the nature of ...

Assimilation of Altimeter Data into a Quasigeostrophic Model of the Gulf Stream System Part I: Dynamical Considerations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The dynamical consequences of constraining a numerical model with sea surface height data have been investigated. The model used for this study is a quasigeostrophic model of the Gulf Stream region. The data that have been ...
Assimilation of Altimeter Data into a Quasigeostrophic Model of the Gulf Stream System Part II: Assimilation Results
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The improvement in the climatological behavior of a numerical model as a consequence of the assimilation of surface data is investigated. The model used for this study is a quasigeostrophic (QG) model of the Gulf Stream ...
Tropical Pacific and Atlantic Climate Variability in CCSM3
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Simulations of the El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon and tropical Atlantic climate variability in the newest version of the Community Climate System Model [version 3 (CCSM3)] are examined in comparison with ...
