Abstract: The response of the atmospheric large-scale circulation to an enhanced greenhouse gas (GHG) forcing varies among coupled global climate model (CGCM) simulations. In this study, 16 CGCM simulations of the response of the ...

Abstract: A conceptual model of the salinity distribution in the oceanic Hadley cell is presented. The model pertains to the region of tropical easterly surface winds, where the surface salinity increases poleward from a local ...

Abstract: The influence of stationary waves on the maintenance of the tropospheric annular mode (AM) is examined in a simple global circulation model with perpetual January conditions. The presented model experiments vary in the ...

Abstract: ecause of the limited resolution of numerical weather prediction (NWP) models, subgrid-scale physical processes are parameterized and represented by gridbox means. However, some physical processes are better represented ...
