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) ...
