Representing El Niño in Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere GCMs: The Dominant Role of the Atmospheric Component
A systematic modular approach to investigate the respective roles of the ocean and atmosphere in setting El Niño characteristics in coupled general circulation models is presented. Several state-of-the-art coupled models sharing either the same atmosphere or the same ocean are compared. Major results include 1) the dominant role of the atmosphere model in setting El Niño characteristics (period...
متن کاملEvaluating the performance of Atmosphere-Ocean Global Circulation Models (AOGCM) in simulating temperature variable in Ahwaz and Abadan stations
Climate changes caused by global warming has presented challenges to human society. Studying the Changes of climate variables in the future decades by using output data’s of Atmosphere-Ocean Global Circulation Models (AOGCM) is a way of perusing climate fluctuation in a region. In this study, the focus is on the AOGCM proceeds in simulating of variable temperature in Ahwaz and Abadan stations. ...
متن کاملThe Role of El Niño in Regulating the Long-term Mean Strength of the Walker and Hadley Circulation
A coupled model for the Pacific region has been used to study the response of the zonal SST contrast and the strength of Walker circulation to changes in the meridional differential heating over the Pacific ocean. Different from the previous studies that use an intermediate ocean model, the present model employs a primitive equation model for the Pacific ocean—the NCAR Pacific basin model— and ...
متن کاملLand–atmosphere coupling in El Niño influence over South America
This study addresses the role of soil moisture and its interaction with the overlying atmosphere in setting up climate anomalies over South America during El Niño years using observations as well as Atmospheric General Circulation Model (AGCM) simulations. It is found that during summertime land–atmosphere interaction is instrumental in setting the spatial pattern and sign of surface air temper...
متن کاملA New Tool for Evaluating the Physics of Coupled Atmosphere-Ocean Variability in Nature and in General Circulation Models
Intermediate models of the coupled tropical atmosphere-ocean system have been used to illuminate the physics of interannual climate phenomenon such as El Niño – Southern Oscillation (ENSO) in the tropical Pacific and to explore how the tropics might respond to an forcing such as changing insolation (Milankovitch) or atmospheric carbon dioxide. Importantly, most of the intermediate models are co...
