North Atlantic Decadal Variability: Air-Sea Coupling, Oceanic Memory, and Potential Northern Hemisphere Resonance*

ABSTRACT

In this paper, the causes and mechanisms of North Atlantic decadal variability are explored in a series of coupled ocean-atmosphere simulations. The model captures the major features of the observed North Atlantic decadal variability. The North Atlantic SST anomalies in the model control simulation exhibit a prominent decadal cycle of 12-16 yr, and a coherent propagation from the western subtropical Atlantic to the subpolar region. A series of additional modeling experiments are conducted in which the air-sea coupling is systematically modified in order to evaluate the importance of air-sea coupling for the North Atlantic decadal variability being studied. This shall be referred to ...
