Coupled climate response to Atlantic Multidecadal Variability in a multi-model multi-resolution ensemble
International audience Abstract North Atlantic sea surface temperatures (SSTs) underwent pronounced multidecadal variability during the twentieth and early twenty-first century. We examine the impacts of this Atlantic Multidecadal Variability (AMV), also referred to as the Atlantic Multidecadal Osci...
