Causes of Low Frequency North Atlantic SST Variability in a Coupled GCM
The low frequency sea surface temperature (SST) variability in the North Atlantic is studied using the Center for Ocean-Land-Atmosphere Studies (COLA) anomaly coupled general circulation model. The main focus is placed on the relative roles of stable and unstable coupled feedbacks in inducing the low frequency SST variability in various regions of the North Atlantic. To examine this question, a recently developed coupling technique, interactive ensembles, is applied to reduce the strength of “weather noise” in the model and isolate the atmospheric feedback to boundary forcing.
