RISDelayed Advective Oscillation of the Atlantic Thermohaline Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A simple dynamic model is proposed to illustrate the multidecadal oscillation of the Atlantic Ocean thermohaline circulation. The proposed oscillation relies on alternating actions of positive and negative feedbacks, which ...
Tropical Atlantic Decadal Oscillation and Its Potential Impact on the Equatorial Atmosphere–Ocean Dynamics: A Simple Model Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Simple coupled atmosphere?ocean models are used to study the potential influence of the tropical Atlantic Ocean decadal oscillation on the equatorial Atlantic atmosphere?ocean dynamics. Perturbing the model tropical Atlantic ...
Response of Freshwater Flux and Sea Surface Salinity to Variability of the Atlantic Warm Pool
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he response of freshwater flux and sea surface salinity (SSS) to the Atlantic warm pool (AWP) variations from seasonal to multidecadal time scales is investigated by using various reanalysis products and observations. All ...
The Heat Balance of the Western Hemisphere Warm Pool
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The thermodynamic development of the Western Hemisphere warm pool and its four geographic subregions are analyzed. The subregional warm pools of the eastern North Pacific and equatorial Atlantic are best developed in the ...
Climate Response to Anomalously Large and Small Atlantic Warm Pools during the Summer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper uses the NCAR Community Atmospheric Model to show the influence of Atlantic warm pool (AWP) variability on the summer climate and Atlantic hurricane activity. The model runs show that the climate response to the ...
A Simple Atmospheric Model of the Local and Teleconnection Responses to Tropical Heating Anomalies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A minimal complexity model of both the local and remote stationary responses of the atmosphere to tropical heating anomalies is described and demonstrated. Two levels are recast as baroclinic and barotropic components with ...
Interhemispheric Influence of the Atlantic Warm Pool on the Southeastern Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Atlantic warm pool (AWP) is a large body of warm water comprising the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea, and western tropical North Atlantic. The AWP can vary on seasonal, interannual, and multidecadal time scales. The ...
Atlantic Warm-Pool Variability in the IPCC AR4 CGCM Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study investigates Atlantic warm pool (AWP) variability in the twentieth century and preindustrial simulations of coupled GCMs submitted to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report ...
Atlantic Warm Pool Variability in the CMIP5 Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study investigates Atlantic warm pool (AWP) variability in the historical run of 19 coupled general circulation models (CGCMs) submitted to phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5). As with the CGCMs ...
Slope Control in Western Boundary Currents
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An analytic solution is presented for the steady-state depth-averaged western boundary current flowing over the continental slope by combining three highly idealized models: the Stommel model, the Munk model, and the ...
