RISWind-Driven Flow over Topography in a Zonal β-Plane Channel: A Quasi-geostrophic Model of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The paper gives a detailed account of the dynamical balance of a wind-driven zonally unbounded flow over topography. The problem is investigated with a quasi-geostrophic ?-plane channel with two layers and eddy resolution. ...
Climate Variability in a Coupled GCM. Part I: The Tropical Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A 26-year integration has been performed with a coupled ocean-atmosphere general circulation model (CGCM). The oceanic part resolves all three oceans in the latitude band 70°N?70°S but is dynamically active only between ...
Structure and Predictability of the El Niño/Southern Oscillation Phenomenon in a Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere General Circulation Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The space-time structure and predictability of the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon was investigated. Two comprehensive datasets were analyzed by means of an advanced statistical method, one based on observational ...
Climate Variability in a Coupled GCM. Part II: The Indian Ocean and Monsoon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We have investigated the seasonal cycle and the interannual variability of the tropical Indian Ocean circulation and the Indian summer monsoon simulated by a coupled ocean-atmosphere general circulation model in a 26- year ...
