Abstract: A smoothly varying hybrid σ?? coordinate, which changes from sigma at the bottom to nearly isentropic in the stratosphere, was implemented into a general circulation model. Multiyear simulations of the σ?? coordinate GCM ...

Abstract: The annual cycle of sea surface temperature (SST) in the equatorial Pacific is compared for two simulations with a coupled atmosphere?ocean general circulation model. The simulations differ only in the optical properties ...

Abstract: A vertical discretization of the primitive equations in a general vertical coordinate is described that enables a primitive equation model to use terrain-following sigma levels near the ground and isentropic levels higher ...

Abstract: The Center for Ocean?Land?Atmosphere Studies anomaly coupled prediction system, using a sophisticated dynamical model of the tropical Pacific Ocean and the global atmosphere, is described. The resolution of the component ...

Abstract: Results from multiyear integrations of a coupled ocean?atmosphere general circulation model are described. The atmospheric component is a rhomboidal 15, 18-level version of the Center for Ocean?Land?Atmosphere Studies ...

Abstract: A scheme for making seasonal to interannual predictions of El Niño?Southern Oscillation with a coupled atmosphere?ocean general circulation model that incorporates subsurface ocean measurements in the initial conditions ...
