Impact of Gulf Stream SST biases on the global atmospheric circulation
Description: The UK Met Office Unified Model in the Global Coupled 2 (GC2) configuration has a warm bias of up to almost 7K in the Gulf Stream SSTs in the winter season, which is associated with surface heat flux biases and potentially related to biases in the atmospheric circulation. Here the role of this SST bias is examined with a focus on the tropospheric response by performing three sensitivity experiments. [Source: Climate Dynamics]
