Dynamics of Interdecadal Variability in Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The interdecadal variability as simulated by coupled ocean?atmosphere models is reviewed. Emphasis is given to that class of interdecadal variability that arises from ocean?atmosphere interactions. The interdecadal variability ...
Effect of Rarefaction, Dissipation, and Accommodation Coefficients on Heat Transfer in Microcylindrical Couette Flow
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper examines the effects of rarefaction, dissipation, curvature, and accommodation coefficients on flow and heat transfer characteristics in rotating microdevices. The problem is modeled as ...
Ocean Dynamics and the Nature of Air–Sea Interactions over the North Atlantic at Decadal Time Scales
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The dependence of the air?sea interactions over the North Atlantic on the ocean dynamics is explored by analyzing multicentury integrations with two different coupled ocean?atmosphere models. One is a coupled general ...
Interactions of the Tropical Oceans
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The authors have investigated the interactions of the tropical oceans on interannual timescales by conducting a series of uncoupled atmospheric and oceanic general circulation experiments and hybrid-coupled model simulations. ...
Decadal Climate Variability over the North Pacific and North America: Dynamics and Predictability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The dynamics and predictability of decadal climate variability over the North Pacific and North America are investigated by analyzing various observational datasets and the output of a state of the art coupled ocean?atmosphere ...
On Multidecadal and Quasi-Decadal North Atlantic Variability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observed sea surface temperatures (SSTs) in the North Atlantic from 1958 through 2000, as well as data from an ocean model simulation driven with the atmospheric variability observed during the same period, are examined ...
Interdecadal Changes in Atmospheric Low-Frequency Variability with and without Boundary Forcing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The response of the Max Planck Institute?s ECHAM3 atmospheric general circulation model to a prescribed decade-long positive anomaly in sea surface temperatures (SSTs) over the North Atlantic is investigated. Two 10-yr ...
The Coupled GCM ECHO-2. Part I: The Tropical Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper the performance of the global coupled general circulation model (CGCM) ECHO-2, which was integrated for 10 years without the application of flux correction, is described. Although the integration is rather ...
The Role of Pinnae Flapping Motion on Elephant Metabolic Heat Dissipation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The oscillatory rotational motion of the elephant pinna is considered a key mechanism in metabolic heat dissipation. Limited experimental investigations have revealed that the flapping of the elephant's pinna is responsible ...
Evaluation of Different Methods to Assess Model Projections of the Future Evolution of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Climate models predict a gradual weakening of the North Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (MOC) during the twenty-first century due to increasing levels of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere. Using ...
