RISMean Circulation of the Hamburg LSG OGCM and Its Sensitivity to the Thermohaline Surface Forcing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The sensitivity of the global ocean circulation to changes in surface heat flux forcing is studied using the Hamburg Large Scale Geostrophic (LSG) ocean circulation model. The simulated mean ocean circulation for appropriately ...
Two AMOC States in Response to Decreasing Greenhouse Gas Concentrations in the Coupled Climate Model MPI-ESM
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThis study analyzes the response of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) to different CO2 concentrations and two ice sheet configurations in simulations with the coupled climate model MPI-ESM. ...
Acoustic Detection of Greenhouse-induced Climate Changes in the Presence of Slow Fluctuations of the Thermohaline Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Munk and Forbes have proposed to detect greenhouse gas-induced climate changes in the World Ocean with an array of long-range acoustic transmissions from Heard Island in the southern Indian Ocean. We estimated?assuming a ...
Competing Roles of Heat and Freshwater Flux in Forcing Thermohaline Oscillations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The physical mechanisms causing century-scale Southern Ocean thermohaline oscillations in a primitive equation oceanic general circulation model are described. The oscillations have been shown to occur on a 320-year timescale ...
Arctic–North Atlantic Interactions and Multidecadal Variability of the Meridional Overturning Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Analyses of a 500-yr control integration with the non-flux-adjusted coupled atmosphere?sea ice?ocean model ECHAM5/Max-Planck-Institute Ocean Model (MPI-OM) show pronounced multidecadal fluctuations of the Atlantic overturning ...
