Final Report: Studies of Ocean Predictability at Decade to Century Time Scales Using a Global Ocean General Circulation Model in a Parallel Computing Environment (August 7, 1991-November 30, 1998)

Abstract

Determine the structure of oceanic natural variability at time scales of decades to centuries; characterize the physical mechanisms responsible for the variability; determine the relative importance of heat, fresh water, and moment fluxes on the variability; determine the predictability of the variability on these times scales
