TL;DR: In this paper, the formulation and simulation characteristics of two new global coupled climate models developed at NOAA's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) are described and two versions of the coupled model are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of Atlantic multidecadal oscillations on India/Sahel rainfall and Atlantic hurricanes
Rong Zhang,Thomas L. Delworth +1 more
TL;DR: This article showed that the AMO plays a major role in forcing the 20th century multidecadal variations of India and Sahel summer rainfall, and of tropical Atlantic atmospheric circulation that is of crucial relevance for Atlantic Hurricane activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ice age terminations.
Hai Cheng,R. Lawrence Edwards,Wallace S. Broecker,George H. Denton,Xinggong Kong,Yongjin Wang,Rong Zhang,Xianfeng Wang +7 more
TL;DR: Variability of the Asian Monsoon over the past 400,000 years correlates with the ends of glacial periods, and AM records for the past four glacial terminations can be precisely correlated with those from ice cores and marine sediments, establishing the timing and sequence of major events.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simulated Tropical Response to a Substantial Weakening of the Atlantic Thermohaline Circulation
Rong Zhang,Thomas L. Delworth +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a mechanism is demonstrated whereby a large reduction in the Atlantic thermohaline circulation (THC) can induce global-scale changes in the Tropics that are consistent with paleo evidence of the global synchronization of millennial-scale abrupt climate change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simulated Climate and Climate Change in the GFDL CM2.5 High-Resolution Coupled Climate Model
Thomas L. Delworth,Anthony Rosati,Whit G. Anderson,Alistair Adcroft,Venkatramani Balaji,Rusty Benson,Keith W. Dixon,Stephen M. Griffies,Hyun Chul Lee,R. C. Pacanowski,Gabriel A. Vecchi,Andrew T. Wittenberg,Fanrong Zeng,Rong Zhang +13 more
TL;DR: This article presented results for simulated climate and climate change from a newly developed high-resolution global climate model [Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory Climate Model version 2.5 (GFDL CM2.5)] with an atmospheric resolution of approximately 50 km in the horizontal, with 32 vertical levels.
