Local and remote sources of tropical atlantic variability as inferred from the results of a hybrid ocean‐atmosphere coupled model
Abstract
A hybrid ocean‐atmosphere coupled model is used to study the interannual variability of sea surface temperature and wind stress over the tropical Atlantic. The coupled model is composed of a statistical atmospheric component model that uses sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTA) over the tropical oceans to forecast wind stress anomalies over the tropical Atlantic, coupled to a general circulation model of the ocean configured over the Atlantic. It is shown that, while the Atlantic‐only hybrid coupled model has damped oscillations of SSTA and wind stress, the inclusion of Pacific SSTA variability in the coupled model resulted in sustained oscillations of wind stress and SSTA over the equatorial Atlantic.

Our analysis of the coupled feedbacks is entirely consistent with ICM (Zebiak 1993) and HCM studies (Latif and Barnett 1995; Nobre et al. 2003), which indicate that a damped coupled mode exists in the equatorial Atlantic.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
