RISTropical Indian Ocean Variability in the IPCC Twentieth-Century Climate Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The twentieth-century simulations using by 17 coupled ocean?atmosphere general circulation models (CGCMs) submitted to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change?s Fourth Assessment Report (IPCC AR4) are evaluated for ...
Impact of Indian Ocean Sea Surface Temperature on Developing El Niño
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Prior to the 1976?77 climate shift (1950?76), sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies in the tropical Indian Ocean consisted of a basinwide warming during boreal fall of the developing phase of most El Niños, whereas after ...
The Effect of Orbital Forcing on the Mean Climate and Variability of the Tropical Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Using a coupled general circulation model, the responses of the climate mean state, the annual cycle, and the El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon to orbital changes are studied. The authors analyze a 1650-yr-long ...
Climate Fluctuations of Tropical Coupled Systems—The Role of Ocean Dynamics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The tropical oceans have long been recognized as the most important region for large-scale ocean?atmosphere interactions, giving rise to coupled climate variations on several time scales. During the Tropical Ocean Global ...
The Influence of a Weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation on ENSO
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The influences of a substantial weakening of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) on the tropical Pacific climate mean state, the annual cycle, and ENSO variability are studied using five different coupled ...
