As an alternative to the frequently used mixed boundary conditions in ocean GCM’s, we
present a dynamic atmospheric model (ECBILT) that is simple and yet describes the relevant …

Meteorological extremes have large impacts on society. The fact that approximately 40% of
the Netherlands is below sea level makes this country especially vulnerable to flooding, both …

Adopting the viewpoint that atmospheric flow regimes can be associated with steady states,
this work investigates the hypothesis that regime transitions in deterministic atmosphere …

The vulnerability of society on extreme weather has resulted in extensive research on the
statistics of extremes. Although the theoretical framework of extreme value statistics is well …

A multi‐millennia simulation performed with a three‐dimensional climate model under
constant forcing shows abrupt climate events lasting for several centuries caused by a …

A linear steady-state primitive equation model has been developed for the computation of
stationary atmospheric waves that are forced by anomalies in surface conditions. The model …

For six consecutive seasons around the 1982–83 El Niño event the relation between
observed anomalies in atmospheric circulation patterns and anomalies in various forcing …

North Atlantic decadal climate variability is studied with a coupled atmosphere–ocean–sea
ice model (ECBILT). After having reached an approximate statistical equilibrium in coupled …

A 2500 year integration has been performed with a global coupled atmospheric-sea-ice-ocean
model of intermediate complexity with the main objective of studying the climate …

Abstract Changes in the severity of extreme weather events under the influence of the
enhanced greenhouse effect could have disproportionally large effects compared to changes in …
