Abstract: Model simulations of an idealistic ?Great Salinity Anomaly? (GSA) demonstrate that variability in the sea ice export from the Arctic when concentrated to short pulses can have a large influence on the meridional heat ...

Abstract: The decadal, 12?14-yr cycle observed in the North Atlantic SST and tide gauge data was examined using the NCEP?NCAR reanalyses, the Comprehensive Ocean?Atmosphere Data Set, and an ocean model simulation. SST data are ...

Abstract: Upper-ocean temperature variability in the tropical Atlantic is examined from the Comprehensive Ocean?Atmosphere Data Set (COADS) as well as from an ocean model simulation forced by COADS anomalies appended to a monthly ...

Abstract: The variability of sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTAs) in the tropical Atlantic is examined using data from 1900 to the present. SSTAs are filtered to focus on the interannual band with fluctuations less than 60 ...

Abstract: his study investigates the multidecadal warming and interannual-to-decadal heat content changes in the upper ocean (0?700 m), focusing on vertical and horizontal patterns of variability. These results support a nearly ...

Abstract: Arctic air masses have direct impacts on the weather and climatic extremes of midlatitude areas such as central North America. Arctic physical processes pose special and very important problems for global atmospheric models ...
