Abstract: An adjoint ocean general circulation model of the North Atlantic is employed to calculate sensitivities of temperature in the northeastern North Atlantic with respect to atmospheric nonlocal fluxes and ocean state variables ...

Abstract: The authors address the question: What are the oceanic mechanisms that control North Atlantic sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies? The approach is to examine the sensitivity dynamics of a non-eddy-resolving North ...

Abstract: To investigate the role of stochastic forcing in generating decadal variability in the main thermocline circulation, an isopycnic numerical model is forced by the standard monthly climatological forcings plus daily wind ...
