Abstract: The role of atmospheric circulation anomalies in generating midlatitude sea surface temperature (SST) variability is investigated by means of ocean general circulation model (OGCM) experiments, in which observed winds are ...

Abstract: The question of whether the large-scale low-frequency sea surface temperature (SST) variability in the North Pacific can be interpreted as a response to large-scale wind anomalies is studied by an ocean general circulation ...

Abstract: A stochastic specification for monthly mean wintertime eddy heat transport conditional upon the monthly mean circulation is proposed. The approach is based on an analog technique. The nearest neighbor for the monthly mean ...

Abstract: Several GCM studies indicate that eddy activity may have a considerable influence on the atmospheric response to midlatitude sea surface temperature anomalies. The effect of eddy activity on the atmospheric equilibrium ...
