North Atlantic interdecadal variability: Oceanic response to the North Atlantic oscillation (1865-1997)

(Manuscript received 8 November 1999, in final form 17 April 2000)

ABSTRACT

In contrast to the atmosphere, knowledge about interdecadal variability of the North Atlantic circulation is relatively restricted. It is the objective of this study to contribute to understanding how the North Atlantic circulation responds to a forcing by the North Atlantic oscillation (NAO) on interdecadal timescales. For this purpose, the authors analyze observed atmospheric and sea surface temperature (SST) data along with the response of an ocean general circulation model to a realistic monthly surface flux forcing that is solely associated with the NAO for the period 1865-1997.
