Abstract: The variability of the circulation in the North Atlantic and its link with atmospheric variability are investigated in a realistic hindcast simulation from 1953 to 2003. The interannual-to-decadal variability of the subpolar ...

Abstract: The response of the upper limb of the meridional overturning circulation to the variability of deep-water formation is investigated analytically with a linear, reduced-gravity model in basins of simple geometry. The spectral ...

Abstract: he subpolar North Atlantic is a center of variability of ocean properties, wind stress curl, and air?sea exchanges. Observations and hindcast simulations suggest that from the early 1970s to the mid-1990s the subpolar gyre ...

Abstract: new framework is proposed for investigating the atmospheric forcing of North Atlantic Ocean circulation. Instead of using classical modes of variability, such as the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) or the east Atlantic ...

Abstract: The response of the ocean to stochastic forcings is studied in a closed basin, using a simple one-dimensional analytical model. The focus is on the mechanisms that determine the time scales of the response and their possible ...

Abstract: arge differences in the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) exhibited between the available ocean models pose problems as to how they can be interpreted for climate policy. A novel Lagrangian methodology has ...
