Processes that influence sea surface temperature and ocean mixed layer depth variability in a coupled model

Processes that influence sea surface temperature and ocean mixed layer depth variability in a coupled model

A 50-year coupled atmosphere-ocean model integration is used to study sea surface temperature (SST) and mixed layer depth (h), and the processes which influence them. The model consists of an atmospheric general circulation model coupled to an ocean mixed layer model in ice-free regions. The midlatitude SST variability is simulated fairly well, although the maximum variance is underestimated an...

Climate Variability in a Coupled Atmosphere-Ocean Model: the Role of Ocean Mixed Layer Processes

A 50-year coupled atmosphere-ocean model integration is used to study sea surface temperature (SST) and mixed layer depth (h), and the processes which influence them. The model consists of an atmospheric general circulation model coupled to an ocean mixed layer model in ice-free regions.

A Comparison of Surface Air Temperature Variability in Three 1000-Yr Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere Model Integrations

This study compares the variability of surface air temperature in three long coupled ocean–atmosphere general circulation model integrations. It is shown that the annual mean climatology of the surface air temperatures (SAT) in all three models is realistic and the linear trends over the 1000-yr integrations are small over most areas of the globe. Second, although there are notable differences ...
