- Simple Theoretical Model May Explain Apparent Climate Instability. Rahmstorf, Stefan; Ganopolski, Andrey // Journal of Climate;5/1/99, Vol. 12 Issue 5, p1349
The authors propose a simple theory to explain a climatic drift previously found in a series of coupled general circulation model (GCM) experiments. Their theory places the GCM results on a simple stability diagram for the thermohaline circulation in the Atlantic. It is argued that the drift...
- The El Ni� o -- Southern Oscillation in the Second Hadley Centre Coupled Model and Its Response to Greenhouse Warming. Collins, Matthew // Journal of Climate;4/1/2000, Vol. 13 Issue 7, p1299
This paper describes El Nino - Southern Oscillation (ENSO) interannual variability simulated in the second Hadley Centre coupled model under "control" and "greenhouse warming" scenarios. The model produces a very reasonable simulation of ENSO in the control experimen -- reproducing the...
