TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the main characteristics of CNRM-CM6-1, the fully coupled atmosphere-ocean general circulation model of sixth generation jointly developed by Centre National de Recherches Meteorologiques (CNRM) and Cerfacs for the sixth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 6 (CMIP6).

TL;DR: It is shown that an El Niño tends to peak during the year following large eruptions in simulations of the Fifth Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5), and that a Pinatubo-like eruption cools tropical Africa and drives westerly wind anomalies in the Pacific favouring anEl Niño response.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a state-of-the-art climate model to simulate the last millennium and found that modelled variations of surface temperature in the Northern Hemisphere are coherent with existing reconstructions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review paper about Decadal Climate Variability and Predictability (DCV) and propose a unifying theme referred to as drivers of teleconnectivity as a backbone to address and structure the core DCV research challenge.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a record of these extreme climatic events that have occurred in the French Mediterrannean coast over the past 1500 years, based on the analysis of sediment cores from Gulf of Aigues-Mortes lagoons.
