A Model-data Comparison for a Multi-model Ensemble of Early Eocene Atmosphere-ocean Simulations: EoMIP

The early Eocene (∼ 55 to 50 Ma) is a time period which has been explored in a large number of modelling and data studies. Here, using an ensemble of previously published model results, making up “EoMIP” – the Eocene Modelling Intercomparison Project – and syntheses of early Eocene terrestrial and sea surface temperature data, we present a self-consistent inter-model and model– data comparison....

Simulations to Evaluate HIV Vaccine Trial Designs

population level by altering the infectiousness of vaccinated individuals who become infected. A vaccine trial design that does not estimate both susceptibility and infectiousness might reject a proposed vaccine that is capable of halting the HIV epidemic. We describe a vaccine trial design called the Retrospective Partner Trial (RPT), which can quantify vaccine effects on both susceptibility a...

Typhoon-Ocean Interaction: The Ocean Response to Typhoons, and Its Feedback to Typhoon Intensity – Synergy of Observations and Model Simulations

Global Ocean Simulations with an Isopycnic Coordinate Model

Impact of Ocean Model Resolution on CCSM Climate Simulations

This issue of Variations presents four articles highlighting modeling research presented at the CLIVAR-sponsored workshop on Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere-Land Processes in the Atlantic held in Miami, March 23-25, 2011. The workshop reviewed model biases in simulating the Atlantic (notably ocean circulation, sea surface temperatures, surface winds, clouds, and precipitation) and identified hypothese...
