Oceanic forcing of Antarctic climate change: A study using a stretched-grid atmospheric general circulation model
peer reviewed A variable-resolution atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM) is used for climate change projections over the Antarctic. The present-day simulation uses prescribed observed sea-surface conditions, while a set of five simulations for the end of the 21st century (2070-2099) under th...
