Abstract: In this paper the performance of the global coupled general circulation model (CGCM) ECHO-2, which was integrated for 10 years without the application of flux correction, is described. Although the integration is rather ...

Abstract: The TOPEX/Poseidon and ERS-1/2 satellites have now been observing sea level anomalies for a continuous time span of more than 6 yr. These sea level observations are first compared with tide gauge data and then assimilated ...

Abstract: In this paper, the combined assimilation of satellite observed sea level anomalies and in situ temperature data into a global ocean model, which is used to initialize a coupled ocean?atmosphere forecast system, is described. ...

Abstract: The seasonal cycle over the tropical Pacific simulated by 11 coupled ocean?atmosphere general circulation models (GCMs) is examined. Each model consists of a high-resolution ocean GCM of either the tropical Pacific or ...
