The technique was originally developed to examine the storm tracks produced
by atmospheric general circulation models (GCMs), but it is directly applicable to other gridded SLP datasets, such as those derived in weather forecasts or reanalysis projects.
Methods: In these experiments, the research team conducted large ensembles of simulations with two state - of - the -
art atmospheric general circulation models by abruptly switching the sea - surface temperature warming on from January 1st to focus on the wintertime circulation adjustment.

from atmospheric general circulation models and satellite observations.
The associated changes in sea surface temperature can have global consequences, but the MJO is difficult to explain theoretically or simulate
in atmospheric general circulation models, and its relationship with sea surface temperature is poorly understood.

We use
an atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM) with a well - resolved stratosphere called the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model version 4 (WACCM4; with specified chemistry).
The second part of the dissertation analyzes dust emission in
an atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM), where realistic simulation is inhibited by the model's coarse resolution compared to the scale of the circulations observed to mobilize dust.

This small ice - cap instability is also found in
some atmospheric general circulation models (AGCMs), but it can be largely eliminated by noise due to natural variability (14).
When heavy rainfall probabilities were next investigated in ensembles of two
atmospheric general circulation models, run with and without anthropogenically - induced sea surface temperature changes, results were model - dependent.
... that the observed widening of the tropics can only be accurately replicated by
an atmospheric general circulation model that includes direct radiative effects related to human greenhouse gas emissions and stratospheric ozone depletion.

an atmospheric general circulation model with a zonally symmetric lower boundary is investigated.
