Abstract: The decadal predictability of three-dimensional Atlantic Ocean anomalies is examined in a coupled global climate model [the third climate configuration of the Met Office Unified Model (HadCM3)] using a linear inverse ...

Abstract: urrent state-of-the-art global climate models produce different values for Earth?s mean temperature. When comparing simulations with each other and with observations, it is standard practice to compare temperature anomalies ...

Abstract: Faced by the realities of a changing climate, decision makers in a wide variety of organizations are increasingly seeking quantitative predictions of regional and local climate. An important issue for these decision makers, ...

Abstract: To gain a new perspective on the interaction of the Atlantic Ocean and the atmosphere, the relationship between the atmospheric and oceanic meridional energy transports is studied in a version of HadCM3, the U.K. Hadley ...

Abstract: In the 1960s, Jacob Bjerknes suggested that if the top-of-the-atmosphere (TOA) fluxes and the oceanic heat storage did not vary too much, then the total energy transport by the climate system would not vary too much either. ...

Abstract: A key aspect in designing an efficient decadal prediction system is ensuring that the uncertainty in the ocean initial conditions is sampled optimally. Here one strategy for addressing this issue is considered by investigating ...

Abstract: Interdecadal variability of the Atlantic thermohaline circulation (THC) is studied in the third version of the Hadley Centre global coupled atmosphere?ocean sea-ice general circulation model (HadCM3). A diagnostic approach ...

Abstract: A coupled ocean?atmosphere general circulation model is used to investigate the modulation of El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) variability due to a weakened Atlantic thermohaline circulation (THC). The THC weakening is ...
