The ability of analysing atmospheric dynamics by idealized experiments using a simplified
circulation model is illustrated in three related studies. The investigations focus on the …

Interannual and climatological variations of wind stress drag coefficient (CD) are examined
over the global ocean from 1998 to 2004. Here CD is calculated using high temporal …

This paper shows that the synoptic variability of zonal and meridional midlatitude Pacific and
Southern Ocean sea surface winds can be well described by a univariate stochastic …

A reduced-gravity double-gyre ocean model is used to study the influence of an additive
stochastic wind stress component on the regime behavior of the wind-driven circulation. The …

(a) Bifurcation diagram for the DG barotropic quasigeostrophic model for a square basin with
Re= UL/AH as the control parameter. On the y axis, the dimensionless streamfunction value …

The Pacific decadal and interdecadal oscillation (PDO) has been extensively explored in
recent decades because of its profound impact on global climate systems. It is a long-lived …

As the importance of stochastic forcing to the interdecadal variability in the ocean and
atmosphere becomes more widely appreciated, numerical stochastic modeling becomes …

Analytical and numerical solutions of the linearized rotating shallow water equations are
combined to study the geostrophic adjustment on the midlatitude β plane. The adjustment is …

A conceptual model of the coupling between the upper‐ocean wind‐driven circulation and
the mid‐latitude atmospheric wind‐stress illustrates that large‐scale basin‐wide oscillations …

The interaction between two storm tracks is analysed by using idealized experiments with a
simplified global‐circulation model. A zonal distance of 180° between the storm tracks drives …
