Northern hemisphere extratropical ocean-atmosphere interactions from a coupled climate network perspective
In recent years extensive studies on the Earth’s climate system have been carried out by means of advanced complex network statistics. The great majority of recent studies, however, have been focusing on investigating interaction structures within single climatological fields directly on or parallel to the Earth’s surface. It is well-known, however, that many processes observed in the Earth sys...
متن کاملClimate drift in an ocean model coupled to a simple, perfectly matched atmosphere
A very simple, diffusive energy balance atmosphere is coupled to the GFDL ocean circulation model. This provides a useful tool for analyzing climate drift in the ocean model after coupling, and may be used to assess various schemes for minimizing such drift. In the experiment reported here, the atmosphere is constructed in such a way that it provides the ocean model at the moment of coupling wi...
متن کاملDYNAMICS OF COUPLED OCEAN- ATMOSPHERE MODELS: The Tropical Problem
Large-scale ocean-atmosphere interaction plays a crucial role in natural climate variability on a broad range of time scales and in anthropogenic climate change. The development of coupled ocean-atmosphere models is thus widely regarded as essential for simulating, understanding, and predicting the global climate system. Although these efforts typically benefit from years of previous work with ...
متن کاملCoupled air–mixed-layer temperature predictability for climate reconstruction
A central issue for understanding past climates involves the use of sparse time-integrated data to recover the physical properties of the coupled climate system. We explore this issue in a simple model of the midlatitude climate system that has attributes consistent with the observed climate. A quasigeostrophic (QG) model thermally coupled to a slab ocean is used to approximate midlatitude coup...
متن کاملThe Atmosphere-Ocean General Circulation Model EMAC-MPIOM
The ECHAM/MESSy Atmospheric Chemistry (EMAC) model is coupled to the ocean general circulation model MPIOM using the Modular Earth Submodel System (MESSy) interface. MPIOM is operated as a MESSy submodel, thus the need of an external coupler is avoided. The coupling method is tested for different model configurations, proving to be very flexible in terms of parallel decomposition and very well ...
