The life span
of atmospheric anomalies depends on
|
|
whether they
are coupled, and on the type of interaction
|
|
they have,
with the underlying ocean anomalies.

The dynamical
rule applied to the reanalysis data gives
|
|
results
consistent with previous studies and with the lag-
|
|
correlation
between 850mb RV and SST: Ocean drives the
|
|
atmosphere in
the tropics and the reverse occurs in the
|
|
extratropics.

The AMIP run
from the NCEP shows fewer long lasting
|
|
anomalies than
observed. This error is associated with
|
|
ignoring the
feedback effect of the atmosphere on the ocean.
