Simulating Southern Hemisphere extra-tropical climate variability with an idealised coupled atmosphere-ocean model

Abstract: Abstract.A quasi-geostrophic model of Southern Hemisphere's wintertime atmospheric circulation with horizontal resolution T21 has been coupled to a global ocean circulation model with a resolution of 2 • × 2 • and simplified physics. This simplified coupled model reproduces qualitatively some features of the first and the second EOF of atmospheric 833 hPa geopotential height in accordance with NCEP data. The variability patterns of the simplified coupled model have been compared with variability patterns simul… Show more

“…This paper continues investigations by Sempf et al [12,13], where the atmospheric regime behavior was investigated by means of a quasi-geostrophic (QG) three-level T21 model of the wintertime atmospheric circulation over the Northern Hemisphere (NH), and extends the research with a higher-resolution hemispheric QG three-level T63 model. In Kurzke et al [14] the Southern Hemisphere (SH) version of the three-level quasi-geostrophic T21 model was coupled to a global ocean circulation model with 2 ∘ × 2 ∘ resolution and simplified physics, and the consequent SH wintertime extratropical climate variability has been studied. Here a step toward increasing the horizontal spectral resolution of the atmospheric model has been made by enhancing the resolution to T63.…”
