• Atmospheric response to zonally averaged sea surface temperatures in the North Atlantic - a model study 

      Fagerli, Stig-Arild (Master thesis, 2008-05-29)
      A less dynamically active ocean will most likely lead to a more zonal sea surface temperature (SST) distribution. In order to identify if, and how such an effect affects the atmospheric variability, idealized experiments ...
    • Coupled atmosphere-ice-ocean dynamics in Dansgaard-Oeschger events 

      Li, Camille; Born, Andreas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-11-10)
      The Dansgaard-Oeschger events of the last ice age are among the best studied abrupt climate changes, yet a comprehensive explanation is still lacking. They are most pronounced in the North Atlantic, where they manifest as ...
    • The North Atlantic Oscillation and greenhouse-gas forcing 

      Kuzmina, Svetlana I.; Bengtsson, Lennart; Johannessen, Ola M.; Drange, Helge; Bobylev, Leonid P.; Miles, Martin W. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2005-02-17)
      The results of 12 coupled climate models participating in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP2) are compared together with observational data in order to investigate: 1) How the current generation of climate ...
    • The sensitivity of the present day Atlantic meriodinal overturning circulation to freshwater forcing 

      Otterå, Odd Helge; Drange, Helge; Bentsen, Mats; Kvamstø, Nils Gunnar; Jiang, Dabang (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2003-09-09)
      Mounting evidence indicates that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) was strongly reduced during cold climate episodes in the past, possible due to freshwater influx from glacial melting. It is also ...
