The Atmospheric General Circulation and Its Variability
Progress in understanding the general circulation of the atmosphere during the past 25 years is reviewed. The relationships of eddy generation, propagation and dissipation to eddy momentum fluxes and mean zonal winds are now sufficiently understood that intuitive reasoning about momentum based on firm theoretical foundations is possible. Variability in the zonal-flow can now be understood as a ...
متن کاملAtlantic Climate Variability Experiment Prospectus
Energetic, large-scale variability is observed in the atmosphere and ocean of the Atlantic Sector on interannual and decadal time scales. It is manifested as coherent fluctuations in temperature , rainfall, surface pressure and temperature reaching eastward to central Europe and northern Asia, southward to subtropical West Africa and westward to North and South America with a myriad of well doc...
متن کاملIndian Ocean Circulation and Climate Variability
[1] In recent years, the Indian Ocean (IO) has been discovered to have a much larger impact on climate variability than previously thought. This paper reviews climate phenomena and processes in which the IO is, or appears to be, actively involved. We begin with an update of the IO mean circulation and monsoon system. It is followed by reviews of ocean/atmosphere phenomenon at intraseasonal, int...
متن کاملCLIMATE VARIABILITY AND PREDICTABILITY Workshop on Tropical Atlantic Variability
The main objectives of the Paris workshop were to review advances in science since the last workshop, and to coordinate international efforts toward a sustained observing system in support of understanding, modelling and predicting TAV. The workshop was sponsored by the International CLIVAR Project Office. At its conclusion detailed recommendations were presented to the CLIVAR Atlantic Implemen...
متن کاملAtmospheric and oceanic freshwater transport during weak Atlantic overturning circulation
Oceanic and atmospheric freshwater transports are analyzed in a numerical experiment where induced freshwater in the North Atlantic slowed the thermohaline circulation (THC). During times of weak Atlantic overturning circulation, it is found that the Intertropical Convergence Zone moves southward and trade winds at tropical latitudes increase, resulting in enhanced water vapor export out of the...
