A Study of Response of the Equatorial Pacific SST to Doubled-CO2 Forcing in the Coupled CAM–1.5-Layer Reduced-Gravity Ocean Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he response of the equatorial Pacific SST under CO2 doubling is investigated using Community Atmosphere Model, version 3.1 (CAM3.1)?1.5-layer reduced-gravity ocean (RGO) coupled model. A robust El Niño?like warming pattern ...
Low-Frequency Modulation of Turbulent Diapycnal Mixing by Anticyclonic Eddies Inferred from the HOT Time Series
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: rofiles of potential density obtained from CTD measurements during the Hawaii Ocean Time series (HOT) program in the vicinity of the island of Oahu, Hawaii, are used to evaluate low-frequency variability of turbulent kinetic ...
Seasonal Variation of the Pacific South Equatorial Current Bifurcation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he seasonal variation of the South Equatorial Current (SEC) bifurcation off the Australian coast in the South Pacific (SP) is investigated with observations and a nonlinear, reduced-gravity, primitive equation model of the ...
Can Oceanic Freshwater Flux Amplify Global Warming?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he roles of freshwater flux (defined as evaporation minus precipitation) changes in global warming are studied using simulations of a climate model in which the freshwater flux changes are suppressed in the presence of a ...
Seasonal and Long-Term Coupling between Wintertime Storm Tracks and Sea Surface Temperature in the North Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n this study, a lagged maximum covariance analysis (MCA) of the wintertime storm-track and sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies derived from the reanalysis datasets shows significant seasonal and long-term relationships ...
Modulation of Atmospheric Response to North Pacific SST Anomalies under Global Warming: A Statistical Assessment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n this study the modulation of ocean-to-atmosphere feedback over the North Pacific in early winter from global warming is investigated based on both the observations and multiple climate model simulations from a statistical ...
Decadal Variability in the North Pacific: The Eastern North Pacific Mode
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Decadal variability in the North Pacific is studied in a series of coupled global ocean?atmosphere simulations using coupled modeling surgery?a set of modeling approaches that can be used to identify the origins and causes ...
North Atlantic Decadal Variability: Air–Sea Coupling, Oceanic Memory, and Potential Northern Hemisphere Resonance
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper, the causes and mechanisms of North Atlantic decadal variability are explored in a series of coupled ocean?atmosphere simulations. The model captures the major features of the observed North Atlantic decadal ...
Atmospheric Response to North Pacific SST: The Role ofOcean–Atmosphere Coupling
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Atmospheric response to a midlatitude winter SST anomaly is studied in a coupled ocean?atmosphere general circulation model. The role of ocean?atmosphere coupling is examined with ensemble experiments of different coupling ...
Warming of the North Pacific Ocean: Local Air–Sea Coupling and Remote Climatic Impacts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper, global climatic response to the North Pacific oceanic warming is investigated in a series of coupled ocean?atmosphere modeling experiments. In the model, an idealized heating is imposed over the North Pacific ...
