Abstract: AbstractThe response of the equatorial Pacific Ocean to heat fluxes of equal amplitude but opposite sign is investigated using the Community Earth System Model (CESM). Results show a strong asymmetry in SST changes. In the ...

Abstract: he role of ocean dynamics in the response of the equatorial Pacific Ocean to climate warming is investigated using both an atmosphere?ocean coupled climate system and its ocean component. Results show that the initial ...

Abstract: Climate models project an enhancement in SST seasonal cycle over the midlatitude oceans under global warming. The underlying mechanisms are investigated using a set of partially coupled experiments, in which the contribution ...

Abstract: AbstractThis paper explores the use of the linear response function (LRF) to relate the mean sea surface temperature (SST) response to prescribed ocean heat convergence (q flux) forcings. Two methods for constructing the ...

Abstract: AbstractA large set of Green?s function-type experiments is performed with q-flux forcings mimicking the effects of the ocean heat uptake (OHU) to examine the global surface air temperature (SAT) sensitivities to the ...
