Localization of Multidecadal Variability. Part I: Cross-Equatorial Transport and Interbasin Exchange
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Multidecadal SST variability is studied in idealized one- and two-ocean-basin configurations, using simulations with the Modular Ocean Model. The authors demonstrate that the multidecadal variability on the global ?conveyor ...
Localization of Multidecadal Variability. Part II: Spectral Origin of Multidecadal Modes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In a companion paper, the authors have shown that in an idealized Atlantic?Pacific Ocean configuration with a conveyor-type overturning circulation, localized multidecadal variability occurs in the Atlantic. Results suggest ...
North Atlantic Multidecadal Climate Variability: An Investigation of Dominant Time Scales and Processes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The issue of multidecadal variability in the North Atlantic has been an important topic of late. It is clear that there are multidecadal variations in several climate variables in the North Atlantic, such as sea surface ...
Noise-Induced Multidecadal Variability in the North Atlantic: Excitation of Normal Modes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper it is proposed that the stochastic excitation of a multidecadal internal ocean mode is at the origin of the multidecadal sea surface temperature variability in the North Atlantic. The excitation processes of ...
Coherent Tropical Indo-Pacific Interannual Climate Variability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: multichannel singular spectrum analysis (MSSA) applied simultaneously to tropical sea surface temperature (SST), zonal wind, and burstiness (zonal wind variability) reveals three significant oscillatory modes. They all ...
