Abstract: Although the overflow and descent of cold, dense water across the Greenland?Iceland?Scotland ridge is the principal means for the maintenance of the thermohaline circulation in the North Atlantic Ocean, this feature is not ...

Abstract: AbstractThe amount of rainfall during June and July along the mei-yu front contributes about 45% to the total summer precipitation over the Yangtze River valley. How it will change under global warming is of great concern ...

Abstract: This paper describes a model intercomparison between a Bryan-Cox-type ocean model and an isopycnic-coordinate ocean model. The two models are integrated for 30 years on a domain of the North Atlantic stretching from 20°S ...

Abstract: In a companion paper, two ocean general circulation models were implemented in order to simulate and intercompare the main features of the North Atlantic circulation: the Atlantic Isopycnic Model (AIM) and the Hadley Centre ...

Abstract: he realistic representation of rainfall on the local scale in climate models remains a key challenge. Realism encompasses the full spatial and temporal structure of rainfall, and is a key indicator of model skill in ...

Abstract: here are some long-established biases in atmospheric models that originate from the representation of tropical convection. Previously, it has been difficult to separate cause and effect because errors are often the result ...

Abstract: Results are presented from a matrix of coupled model integrations, using atmosphere resolutions of 135 and 90 km, and ocean resolutions of 1° and 1/3°, to study the impact of resolution on simulated climate. The mean state ...

Abstract: egional climate projections are used in a wide range of impact studies, from assessing future flood risk to climate change impacts on food and energy production. These model projections are typically at 12?50-km resolution, ...
