Bindoff (2003), Comparison of observed temperature and salinity changes in the Indo-Pacific with results from the coupled climate model HadCM3: Processes and mechanisms
Observed changes in temperature and salinity properties on isopycnals across hydrographic sections throughout the Indo-Pacific are compared with the changes modeled by the coupled climate model, HadCM3. Observations show cooling and freshening on isopycnals in midlatitudes, and there is quantitative...
