North Atlantic climate variability in a coupled climate model : Multidecadal cold events and climate state transitions
The main focus of this study is to investigate the climate variability in the North Atlantic region on timescales ranging from centuries to millennia to better understand the origin and dynamics of these fluctuations. A focus is set on analyzing multidecadal cold events and climate transitions from...

The main focus of this study is to investigate the climate variability in the North Atlantic region on timescales ranging from centuries to millennia to better understand the origin and dynamics of these fluctuations.

Although many studies deal with climate state transitions, the trigger of these transitions often remains unclear.
