Atlantic Climate Change Program (ACCP)
(Schmitz, 1995) |
|
Motivation: Decadal variability in the coupled air-sea system has an important
effect on global climate at these time-scales. Recent studies suggest that
variability on decadal scales also modulates variability on interannual time-
scales. To develop forecast capability on decadal time-scales it is necessary
to review the historical data-set for the signature of these anomalies and to
begin collection of long-term data-sets to monitor this variability. The
resulting data will be used to initialize decadal models, verify the models and
study the dynamics of the coupled system. |
