Statistical analysis of the interdecadal variability over the North Atlantic
The climate variability over the North Atlantic region is described in the 10-50 year band, using a 500-year integration of the Hamburg ECHAMl/LSG coupled general circulation model. In order to isolate nearly periodic components of the atmosphere and the ocean, the multichannel version of the singul...

The climate variability over the North Atlantic region is described in the 10-50 year band, using a 500-year integration of the Hamburg ECHAMl/LSG coupled general circulation model.
