Tropical Pacific 1976–77 Climate Shift in a Linear, Wind-Driven Model*
A number of studies have attempted to explain the cause of decadal variability in the tropical Pacific and explore its possible link to decadal variability in the midlatitude Pacific. To investigate some of the current theories of Pacific decadal variability, a linear, wind-driven model, designed to simulate only baroclinic wave dynamics, was forced with wind stress anomalies in the Pacific Oce...
متن کاملTropical Pacific Variability in the NCAR Climate System Model
A 300-yr simulation with the NCAR Climate System Model (CSM), version 1, captured only ;60% of the observed ENSO signal and exaggerated the interannual variability of SST in the western tropical Pacific. Here, a simulation with a new version of the CSM, which significantly improves the spatial and temporal patterns of tropical Pacific variability, is described. Maximum SST variability is shifte...
متن کاملTropical Pacific Climate and Its Response to Global Warming in the Kiel Climate Model
A new, non-flux-corrected, global climate model is introduced, the Kiel Climate Model (KCM), which will be used to study internal climate variability from interannual to millennial time scales and climate predictability of the first and second kind. The version described here is a coarse-resolution version that will be employed in extended-range integrations of several millennia. KCM’s performa...
متن کاملTropical Pacific–Driven Decadel Energy Transport Variability
The atmospheric energy transport variability associated with decadal sea surface temperature variability in the tropical Pacific is studied using an atmospheric primitive equation model coupled to a slab mixed layer. The decadal variability is prescribed as an anomalous surface heat flux that represents the reduced ocean heat transport in the tropical Pacific when it is anomalously warm. The at...
متن کاملLarge-scale and evaporation-wind feedbacks in a box model of the tropical climate
A four-box model of the tropical climate is used to assess its sensitivity to changes in the relative area of the moist and dry regions and to radiative perturbations. The feedbacks modulating this sensitivity are analyzed , particularly the dynamical feedbacks associated with the surface fluxes. The link between the large-scale circulation and these fluxes is found to play a crucial role in th...
