It's just that we haven't considered this atmospheric forcing, which is energy consumption, in our model.

A first set of experiments has been done under an atmospheric forcing limited to restoring boundary conditions for the surface layer temperatures.

Lawrence River fresh water runoff, the atmospheric forcing, and the sea ice drift, growth and melt.

Nearly identical mid-latitude atmospheric forcing and oceanic responses were observed during the 1940-1941 analog event.

Streamflow gauges are integrators of atmospheric forcing, and the network in Canada should reflect this reality.

However, when the atmospheric forcing becomes weak in the spring, turbulence subsides rapidly while the mixed layer depth does not change much.

Global atmospheric forcing will alter regional climates and change the suitability of local environments for the mosaics of vegetation types now present in landscapes.

• Accurate atmospheric forcing and hydrological information is essential for hydrological modelling and infrastructure design, particularly with the advent of climate change.

Empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis was first used to condense the model output fields as well as the atmospheric forcing data.

Atmospheric forcing was derived from the Navy's NOGAPS (GCM) generated atmospheric fluxes.

Atmospheric forcing variables (radiation, temperature, humidity, wind speed) over the 100x100 km2 OASIS region are obtained from mixed-layer properties well above the internal boundary layers of individual patches.

Also, because of anomalous local atmospheric forcing, significant warmings, strong coastal currents, and high sea levels along the west coast of North America can occur in years during which there are no tropical ENSO episodes.

However such Rossby waves are for anomalous conditions; instead we examine the properties of Rossby waves in models in which the current field and background density structure are in quasi-equilibrium with the atmospheric forcing.

Another consequence of the seasonal variability in the atmospheric forcing is the ice production in the Arctic and on the shelves of Labrador and Newfoundland, and the subsequent transport of pack ice to lower latitudes and offshore.

Advective resonance Saravanan and McWilliams have demonstrated that the interaction between spatially coherent atmospheric forcing patterns and an advective ocean shows periodicities at preferred time scales when non-local advective effects dominate over the local sea surface temperature damping.
