Indian Ocean Variability in the GFDL Coupled Climate Model
The interannual variability of the Indian Ocean, with particular focus on the Indian Ocean dipole/zonal mode (IODZM), is investigated in a 250-yr simulation of the GFDL coupled global general circulation model (CGCM). The CGCM successfully reproduces many fundamental characteristics of the climate system of the Indian Ocean. The character of the IODZM is explored, as are relationships between p...
متن کاملPredictability of the Indian Ocean sea surface temperature anomalies in the GFDL coupled model
[1] We explore the predictability of the sea surface temperature anomalies associated with the Indian Ocean Dipole/Zonal Mode (IODZM) at a three-season lead, within the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) coupled general circulation model (CGCM). In both control simulations and retrospective forecasts of the 1990’s in the CGCM, we find that the occurrence of some IODZM events is precon...
متن کاملSimulations of Heinrich Events in a coupled ocean-atmosphere-sea ice model
[1] Between 20 and 80 kyr ago several cooling cycles occurred in the Northern Hemisphere which culminated in a discharge of icebergs into the North Atlantic. These so called ‘‘Heinrich Events’’ (HEs) were followed by an abrupt shift to a warmer climate. Here we use a coupled ocean-atmosphere-sea ice model to study the response of the climate system under glacial conditions to a hypothetical HE....
متن کاملSea Ice and Climate in 20 th and 21 st Century Simulations with a Global Atmosphere – Ocean – Ice Model
A global atmosphere–ocean– sea ice general circulation model (GCM) is used in simulations of climate with greenhouse gas concentrations and sulfate aerosols prescribed from observational data (1870 through 1995) and future projections (1995 through 2100). Simulations that include the variability in solar flux from 1870 through 1995 are also performed. The variation in solar flux of +/–2 W m pro...
متن کاملState Estimation of the Labrador Sea with a Coupled Sea Ice-Ocean Adjoint Model
Sea ice (SI) and ocean variability in marginal polar and subpolar seas are closely coupled. SI variability in the Labrador Sea is of climatic interest because of its relationship to deep convection/mode water formation, carbon sequestration, and Northern Hemisphere atmospheric patterns. Historically, quantifying the link between the region’s observed SI and oceanic variability has been limited ...
