Abstract: The interannual variability of the Indian Ocean SST is investigated by analyzing data from observations and an integration of a global coupled GCM (CGCM) ECHO-2. First, it is demonstrated that the CGCM is capable of producing ...

Abstract: To study the dynamics that may lead to decadal oscillations in the North Pacific a simple coupled model is developed. The ocean is based on the linear, potential vorticity equation for baroclinic planetary waves. The ...

Abstract: According to the delayed-oscillator picture of ENSO, a positive SST anomaly in the eastern tropical Pacific will cause westerly wind anomalies closer to the date line to first give a positive feedback, and later, via ...
