Extratropical Atmospheric Response to Equatorial Atlantic Cold Tongue Anomalies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The extratropical atmospheric response to the equatorial cold tongue mode in the Atlantic Ocean has been investigated with the coupled ocean?atmosphere model, Speedy Ocean (SPEEDO). Similar to the observations, the model ...
Influence of the Meridional Overturning Circulation on Tropical Atlantic Climate and Variability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The influence of the meridional overturning circulation on tropical Atlantic climate and variability has been investigated using the atmosphere?ocean coupled model Speedy-MICOM (Miami Isopycnic Coordinate Ocean Model). In ...
Mechanisms of Northern Tropical Atlantic Variability and Response to CO2 Doubling
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A model study has been made of the mechanisms of the meridional mode in the northern tropical Atlantic (NTA) and the response to a doubling of atmospheric CO2. The numerical model consists of an atmospheric general circulation ...
Dominant Modes of Variability in the South Atlantic: A Study with a Hierarchy of Ocean–Atmosphere Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Using an atmosphere model of intermediate complexity and a hierarchy of ocean models, the dominant modes of interannual and decadal variability in the South Atlantic Ocean are studied. The atmosphere Simplified Parameterizations ...
The Impacts of Inter–El Niño Variability on the Tropical Atlantic and Northeast Brazil Climate
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n this study, observations and numerical simulations are used to investigate how different El Niño events affect the development of SST anomalies in the Atlantic and how this relates to the Brazilian northeast (NE) ...
Resolution Dependence of European Precipitation in a State-of-the-Art Atmospheric General Circulation Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n this study, the authors investigate the effect of GCM spatial resolution on modeled precipitation over Europe. The objectives of the analysis are to determine whether climate models have sufficient spatial resolution to ...
Australian Monsoon Variability Driven by a Gill–Matsuno-Type Response to Central West Pacific Warming
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The objective of this study is to investigate the mechanisms that cause the anomalous intensification of tropical Australian rainfall at the height of the monsoon during El Niño Modoki events. In such events, northwestern ...
Land–Atmosphere Coupling Sensitivity to GCMs Resolution: A Multimodel Assessment of Local and Remote Processes in the Sahel Hot Spot
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
