Description

On time scales of greater than one year the variability of weather and climate on a large path of the Earth is dominated by the Southern Oscillation. While current theories of this phenomenon have clarified the role of the interaction between the ocean and the atmosphere in maintaining this oscillation it has so far been unclear whether the Southern Oscillation originates in the ocean, in the atmosphere or during the interaction between the ocean and the atmosphere. In this study we compared simulations of climate in two global circulation models: the coupled OSU GCM in which the atmosphere and ocean … continued below

In this study we compared simulations of climate in two global circulation models: the coupled OSU GCM in which the atmosphere and ocean interact dynamically and the slab OSU GCM in which the ocean is represented by a static layer.
