Abstract: Seasonal forcing is applied to an idealized model of the ocean?atmosphere system by prescribing monthly values of solar insolation at the top of the atmosphere and wind stress at the ocean surface. In addition, meridional ...

Abstract: A simplified climate model of the coupled ocean?atmosphere system is used to perform extensive sensitivity studies concerning possible future climate change induced by anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. Supplemented ...

Abstract: Climate models predict a gradual weakening of the North Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (MOC) during the twenty-first century due to increasing levels of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere. Using ...

Abstract: A global, oceanic teleconnection of salinity, meridional overturning circulation (MOC), and climate of the North Atlantic and North Pacific is proposed. Simulations with a global climate model show that an extraction of ...

Abstract: Simulations with a coupled ocean?atmosphere?sea ice model are used to investigate the role of wind-driven sea ice motion on ocean ventilation. Two model experiments are analyzed in detail: one including and the other ...

Abstract: he impact of mountains and ice sheets on the large-scale circulation of the world?s oceans is investigated in a series of simulations with a new coupled ocean?atmosphere model [Oregon State University?University of Victoria ...

Abstract: oupled climate?carbon models have shown the potential for large feedbacks between climate change, atmospheric CO2 concentrations, and global carbon sinks. Standard metrics of this feedback assume that the response of land ...
