The 2021 Atlantic Niño and Benguela Niño Events: external forcings and air–sea interactions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the extreme Atlantic and Benguela Niño events that occurred during the boreal spring–summer of 2021. We conducted sensitivity experiments with a regional ocean–atmosphere ... -
Assessing the influence of sea surface temperature and arctic sea ice cover on the uncertainty in the boreal winter future climate projections
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)We investigate the uncertainty (i.e., inter-model spread) in future projections of the boreal winter climate, based on the forced response of ten models from the CMIP5 following the RCP8.5 scenario. The uncertainty in the ... -
Causes of the large warm bias in the Angola–Benguela Frontal Zone in the Norwegian Earth System Model
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)We have investigated the causes of the sea surface temperature (SST) bias in the Angola–Benguela Frontal Zone (ABFZ) of the southeastern Atlantic Ocean simulated by the Norwegian Earth System Model (NorESM). Similar to ... -
Contributors to linkage between Arctic warming and East Asian winter climate
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Previous modelling and observational studies have shown discrepancies in the interannual relationship of winter surface air temperature (SAT) between Arctic and East Asia, stimulating the debate about whether Arctic change ... -
Dynamical downscaling of ERA-40 in complex terrain using the WRF regional climate model
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010)Results from a first-time employment of the WRF regional climate model to climatological simulations in Europe are presented. The ERA-40 reanalysis (resolution 1 ) has been downscaled to a horizontal resolution of 30 and ... -
The El Niño effect on Ethiopian summer rainfall
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)While El Niño is known to cause failure of Kiremt (boreal summer) rainfall in Ethiopia, the mechanisms are not fully understood. Here we use the ECHAM5 Atmospheric General Circulation Model to investigate the physical link ... -
ENSO teleconnections in terms of non-NAO and NAO atmospheric variability
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The validity of the long-held understanding or assumption that El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) has a remote influence on the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) in the January–February–March (JFM) months has been questioned ... -
Impact of Arctic sea ice variations on winter temperature anomalies in northern hemispheric land areas
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-07-30)Coordinated numerical ensemble experiments with six different state-of-the-art atmosphere models have been used in order to evaluate the respective impact of the observed Arctic sea ice and sea surface temperature (SST) ... -
Impact of initialization methods on the predictive skill in NorCPM: an Arctic–Atlantic case study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The skilful prediction of climatic conditions on a forecast horizon of months to decades into the future remains a main scientific challenge of large societal benefit. Here we assess the hindcast skill of the Norwegian ... -
Impact of late spring Siberian snow on summer rainfall in South-Central China
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Located in the Yangtze River Valley and surrounded by mountains, South-Central China (SCC) frequently suffered from natural disasters such as torrential precipitation, landslide and debris flow. Here we provide corroborative ... -
Impact of sea ice transport on Beaufort Gyre liquid freshwater content
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The Arctic Ocean’s Beaufort Gyre (BG) is a wind-driven reservoir of relatively fresh seawater, situated beneath time-mean anticyclonic atmospheric circulation, and is covered by mobile pack ice for most of the year. Liquid ... -
Improving subseasonal forecast skill in the Norwegian Climate Prediction Model using soil moisture data assimilation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)This study shows the importance of soil moisture (SM) in subseasonal-to-seasonal (S2S) predictions at mid-latitudes. We do this through introducing the Norwegian Climate Prediction Model Land (NorCPM-Land), a land reanalysis ... -
Intercomparison of initialization methods for seasonal-to-decadal climate predictions with the NorCPM
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Initialization is essential for accurate seasonal-to-decadal (S2D) climate predictions. The initialization schemes used differ on the component initialized, the Data Assimilation method, or the technique. We compare five ... -
Long-term climatological trends driving the recent warming along the Angolan and Namibian coasts
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The coastal regions off Angola and Namibia are renowned for their highly productive marine ecosystems in the southeast Atlantic. In recent decades, these regions have undergone significant long-term changes. In this study, ... -
Mechanisms for decadal scale variability in a simulated Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-06-25)Variability in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) has been analysed using a 600-year pre-industrial control simulation with the Bergen Climate Model. The typical AMOC variability has amplitudes of 1 ... -
Ocean–atmosphere coupled Pacific Decadal variability simulated by a climate model
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Currently, the mechanisms for Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) are still disputed, and in particular the atmosphere response to the ocean in the mid-latitude remains a key uncertainty. In this study, we investigate two ... -
Pacific circulation response to eastern Arctic sea ice reduction in seasonal forecast simulations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Recent studies point to the sensitivity of mid-latitude winter climate to Arctic sea ice variability. However, there remain contradictory results in terms of character and timing of Northern Hemisphere large-scale circulation ... -
Pacific contribution to decadal surface temperature trends in the Arctic during the twentieth century
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Instrumental records suggest multidecadal variability in Arctic surface temperature throughout the twentieth century. This variability is caused by a combination of external forcing and internal variability, but their ... -
