Abstract

To clarify the role of atmospheric and ocean forcing, an uncoupled (driven by observed atmospheric forcing) ocean model experiment was performed. Wind stress computed by the model is compared with observed data. Simulation is good, in spite of a coarse horizontal grid size and the use of a fixed 50 m ocean mixed layer. Coupled models can simulate regional and global features of interactive ocean atmosphere climate regimes.-from STAR, 20(14), 1982
