The Effect of Explosive Tropical Volcanism on ENSO
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study examines the response of El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) to massive volcanic eruptions in a suite of coupled general circulation model (CGCM) simulations utilizing the Community Climate System Model, version ...
Exploring the Symmetries of Pantropical Connections between the Tropical Atlantic and Pacific Basins
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Interdecadal Sea Surface Temperature Variability in the Equatorial Pacific Ocean. Part II: The Role of Equatorial/Off-Equatorial Wind Stresses in a Hybrid Coupled Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Many modeling studies have been carried out to investigate the role of oceanic Rossby waves linking the off-equatorial and equatorial Pacific Ocean. Although the equatorial ocean response to off-equatorial wind stress ...
Analysis of the Southward Wind Shift of ENSO in CMIP5 Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractDuring the mature phase of El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events there is a southward shift of anomalous zonal winds (SWS), which has been suggested to play a role in the seasonal phase locking of ENSO. Motivated ...
The Response of a Stochastically Forced ENSO Model to Observed Off-Equatorial Wind Stress Forcing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study investigates the response of a stochastically forced coupled atmosphere?ocean model of the equatorial Pacific to off-equatorial wind stress anomaly forcing. The intermediate-complexity coupled ENSO model comprises ...
Wind Effects on Past and Future Regional Sea Level Trends in the Southern Indo-Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Global sea level rise due to the thermal expansion of the warming oceans and freshwater input from melting glaciers and ice sheets is threatening to inundate low-lying islands and coastlines worldwide. At present the global ...
Constraining Wind Stress Products with Sea Surface Height Observations and Implications for Pacific Ocean Sea Level Trend Attribution
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: number of global surface wind datasets are available that are commonly used to examine climate variability or trends and as boundary conditions for ocean circulation models. However, discrepancies exist among these products. ...
Interdecadal Sea Surface Temperature Variability in the Equatorial Pacific Ocean. Part I: The Role of Off-Equatorial Wind Stresses and Oceanic Rossby Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Australian Bureau of Meteorology Research Centre CGCM and a linear first baroclinic-mode ocean shallow-water model (SWM) are used to investigate ocean dynamic forcing mechanisms of the equatorial Pacific Ocean interdecadal ...
An Automated Climatology of Cool-Season Cutoff Lows over Southeastern Australia and Relationships with the Remote Climate Drivers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
The Modulation of ENSO Variability in CCSM3 by Extratropical Rossby Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Evidence suggests that the magnitude and frequency of the El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) changes on interdecadal time scales. This is manifest in a distinct shift in ENSO behavior during the late 1970s. This study ...
