Abstract: A substantial part of the variability in the thermohaline circulation on decadal and longer timescales as found in ocean models is strongly related to the deep-water formation (DWF) process. Many of these studies, however, ...

Abstract: The relevance of barotropic instability for the observed low-frequency variability in the atmosphere is investigated. The stability properties of the shallow-water equations on a sphere are computed for small values of ...

Abstract: We have investigated the nonlinear steady-state response of a barotropic model to an estimate of the observed anomalous tropical divergence forcing for the El Niño winter of 1982/83. The 400 mb climatological flow was made ...

Abstract: North Atlantic decadal climate variability is studied with a coupled atmosphere?ocean?sea ice model (ECBILT). After having reached an approximate statistical equilibrium in coupled mode without applying flux corrections, ...

Abstract: The variability in the subpolar Southern Hemisphere is studied with a coupled atmosphere?ocean?sea-ice model (the ECBilt). After having reached an approximate statistical equilibrium in coupled mode without flux corrections, ...

Abstract: Three 1000-yr climate simulations with an atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM) coupled to, respectively, a slab mixed layer model, an ocean GCM, and responding to yearly repeating daily sea surface temperature (SST) ...

Abstract: AbstractThe time scales of the Paris Climate Agreement indicate urgent action is required on climate policies over the next few decades, in order to avoid the worst risks posed by climate change. On these relatively short ...
