Scientific Questions• What role does the ocean-
atmosphere interaction play in the multidecadal AMOC oscillation?
• Does the tropical-subtropical Atlantic Ocean also play a part in the multidecadal AMOC oscillation?

40 levels, non-polar (70oS-65oN)no transport between Atlantic and Arctic Oceanno sea-ice formation mechanism
• Daily coupling over active ocean domain (without flux correction)• Initial condition: January 1, 1985, Atmosphere: NCEP Reanalysis

Summary• AMOC fluctuates on a wide range of time
scales in CFS.• An intermittent multidecadal (30-yr)
oscillation is generated by ocean-atmosphere feedback within the Atlantic sector.
• Delayed response of the northern subtropical cell is crucial for the oscillation.
