Interannual to Decadal Predictions of Thermohaline Anomalies and Air-Sea Interaction in the Subpolar North Atlantic and the Nordic Seas

The knowledge of the thermohaline variability of the Nordic Seas is important to development of ocean and atmospheric predictability in seasonal to decadal time scales, once these areas modulating the climate variability in northwestern Europe. The main purpose of this project is to investigate air-sea interaction related to the poleward thermohaline propagating anomalies in different versions of the NorCPM and also checking through observations, to verify if the model is capable to communicate the anomalies poleward and how the large-scale atmospheric circulation interacts with the poleward propagating anomalies in the ocean.
