Abstract: Both high-latitude (HLM) and low-latitude modes (LLM) of variability of zonal wind in the Southern Hemisphere have been identified. Through an analysis of a simulation for 1871?2200 by the CSIRO Mark 3 climate model, the ...

Abstract: The structure of eddies forcing the vacillation of the southern midlatitude tropospheric zonal-mean zonal wind and the significance of wave?mean flow feedbacks on its persistence are assessed using a 100-yr 8-h dataset ...

Abstract: A simple energy balance model with two parameters, an effective heat capacity and an effective climate sensitivity, is used to interpret six GCM simulations of greenhouse gas?induced global warming. By allowing the parameters ...

Abstract: The common representation of two-dimensional nondivergent oceanic currents or fluxes by a streamfunction is extended to the divergent global case using the Helmholtz decomposition of the flow into rotational (nondivergent) ...

Abstract: Much of the variance of monthly and zonal mean zonal wind anomalies in the Southern Hemisphere troposphere can be attributed to the vacillation of a barotropic dipole-like ?mode.? In four multidecadal simulations of the ...

Abstract: he current generation of climate models, as represented by phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5), has previously been assessed as having more skill in simulating the observed climate than the previous ...

Abstract: An extended coupled atmosphere?ocean model simulation has been analyzed to explore the relationship between Australian rainfall and regional surface temperature anomalies. The interannual variability of seasonal rainfall ...

Abstract: odeling groups from four continents have submitted simulations as part of phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5). With climate impact assessment in mind, we test the accuracy of the seasonal averages ...
