Mean state and variability of tropical Oxygen Minimum Zones in ocean models
Oxygen levels are decreasing in the ocean at an alarming rate, leading to the expansion of Oxygen Minimum Zones (OMZs) particularly in the eastern part of the tropical Atlantic and […]

Local and remote causes of the equatorial Pacific cold sea surface temperature bias in the Kiel Climate Model
We investigate the origin of the equatorial Pacific cold sea surface temperature (SST) bias and its link to wind biases, local and remote, in the Kiel Climate Model (KCM). The […]

Disentangling Climate Responses to Volcano Eruptions from Intrinsic Variability
As a natural external forcing of our climate system, volcanic eruptions can exert a negative radiative forcing on the Earth with global cooling; however, what eruptions under what conditions can […]

Millennial modulation of Atlantic Multi decadal Variability
The Atlantic Multi-decadal Variability (AMV) is a prominent mode of sea-surface temperature (SST) variability over the North Atlantic and can impact European weather and climate, such as droughts and Atlantic […]

The role of eddies in shaping the climate
Eddies are fundamental components of the general circulation which enable the above regional climate differences to be realized, regardless of the cause – anthropogenic climate change or natural/internal climate variability. […]

Fractional Integral Statistical Model: the concept and its application
Ever since 1976 when the concept of stochastic climate model (SCM) was proposed by K. Hasselmann, rapid progresses have been made in this field during the past decades. One key […]

Local Iand-atmosphere interaction: Will clouds form?
Local land-atmosphere coupling involves interactions between the land-surface and the overlying atmospheric boundary layer (ABL), and in turn with the free atmosphere above. Initiation of fair-weather cumulus requires an increase […]

Redistribution of anthropogenic ocean carbon in response to negative emission
Due to the escalating anthropogenic carbon emission, the anthropogenic carbon has been absorbed and accumulated in the upper ocean through penetration of carbon from the atmosphere. To mitigate the adverse […]

Kriging and PINNs: Creating regular grids from non-Gaussian paleoclimatic variables
Earth System Models of high (ESMs) and Intermediate Complexity (EMICs) are very useful tools to test hypotheses and perform sensitivity analyses. However, they require regular input fields as boundary conditions […]
