Abstract: The occurrence of a boreal spring phenomenon referred to as the Pacific meridional model (MM) is shown to be intimately linked to the development of El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) in a long simulation of a coupled ...

Abstract: A hybrid coupled model (HCM) is used to explore the underlying dynamics governing tropical Atlantic variability (TAV) and the dynamic regime that may be most relevant to TAV. By coupling an empirical atmospheric feedback ...

Abstract: The nonlinear interactions between the seasonal cycle and El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) in the coupled ocean-atmosphere system are examined using a newly developed intermediate coupled ocean-atmosphere model. The ...

Abstract: A predictability analysis developed within a general framework of linear stochastic dynamics in a companion paper is applied to a simple coupled climate model of tropical Atlantic variability (TAV). The simple model extends ...

Abstract: The effects of tropical Atlantic sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies on atmospheric circulation are examined by analyzing several ensembles of integrations of an atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM) forced with ...

Abstract: Results are described from a series of 40 retrospective forecasts of tropical Pacific SST, starting 1 January and 1 July 1980?99, performed with several coupled ocean?atmosphere general circulation models sharing the same ...
