Journal ArticleDOI
Weakening Atlantic Niño-Pacific connection under greenhouse warming.
Fan Jia,Wenju Cai,Wenju Cai,Lixin Wu,Bolan Gan,Guojian Wang,Guojian Wang,Fred Kucharski,Ping Chang,Noel Keenlyside,Noel Keenlyside +10 more
TL;DR: It is shown that greenhouse warming leads to a weakened influence from the Atlantic Niño/Niña on the Pacific ENSO, which is projected to be less affected by theAtlantic Niño/ Niña and more challenging to predict as an Atlantic precursor weakens.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Barrier Layer of the Atlantic Warmpool: Formation Mechanism and Influence on the Mean Climate
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a coupled general circulation model (CGCM) to perform a set of idealised numerical experiments to test and understand the sensitivity of the barrier layer (BL) and consequently sea surface temperature (SST) bias in the NWTA region to freshwater flux and hence the upper ocean salinity stratification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rossby wave packets in baroclinic mean currents
Ping Chang,Samuel Philander +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a WKB description of the propagation of Rossby wave packets in a shallow water model of the tropical oceans indicates that the presence of the baroclinic mean currents can modify the characteristics of wave propagation significantly.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prediction of tropical Atlantic sea surface temperature
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the variability of sea surface temperature (SST) in the tropical Atlantic Ocean has a significant influence on the rainfall over Northeast Brazil and the Sahel, and the predictability of the SST fluctuations in this region has been a central concern for Atlantic climate studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maintenance of mid-latitude oceanic fronts by mesoscale eddies.
Zhao Jing,Zhao Jing,Shengpeng Wang,Lixin Wu,Ping Chang,Qiuying Zhang,Qiuying Zhang,Bingrong Sun,Xiaohui Ma,Xiaohui Ma,Bo Qiu,Justing Small,Justing Small,Fei-Fei Jin,Zhaohui Chen,Bolan Gan,Yun Yang,Haiyuan Yang,Xiuquan Wan +18 more
TL;DR: Using high-resolution climate simulations, it is found that the vertical heat transport by ocean mesoscale eddies acts as an important heat supplier to the surface ocean in frontal regions, tightly related to the atmospheric forcing.
