| Summary: | The availability of the Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set (COADS) has provided the climate research community with a powerful tool for the study of climate variability and change. As seen in the papers in this volume, Release 1 of the COADS contains a variety of instrumental and other uncertainties, all of which make sensitive analyses using this release difficult. With the newer, more controlled and complete release of the COADS will come the additional capability of merging the data with physical models of various climate processes. This contribution illustrates one such use of the COADS as a diagnostic modeling tool by using turbulent fluxes and other quantities derived from Release 1 and its Interim Release to infer regions of the North Atlantic that could be particularly susceptible to climate change. 1. |
