    Abstract: introduction: The Walker-Kasting global carbon cycle box model is a simple representation of the earth system used to study climatic events. This model has a high number of parameters whose sensitivity must be tested in order to better understand which of them dominate the behaviour of the model. In this study, we perform a parameter sensitivity analysis. moreover, we use these results to re-tune the model to preindustrial conditions using a quantitative criterion. We then compare our results to those determined by Walker-Kasting. Methods: We achieved the parameter sensitivity analysis by calculating, for each parameter, an index that measures the impact of a change in the initial parameter value on the equilibrium solutions. The most sensitive parameters were determined and then tuned in the model by comparing the model equilibrium solutions to a set of 32 experimental values. results: We found that nine of the tuning parameters were sensitive to a change to their initial value. Furthermore, we discovered that 5 of these parameter values were identical to those determined by Walker-Kasting, thus affirming their work. discussion: a sensitivity analysis is interesting to perform because it allows the users of a model to more fully comprehend the way in which the model reacts to changes in its parameters. sensitivity analysis is fundamental in the tuning of a model (for example, to a particular period in the earth’s history) since it allows researchers to consider only the most important parameters.

    Abstract: A singular value decomposition analysis and a combined complex empirical orthogonal function analysis are performed on 80 years of monthly sea surface temperature (SST) and sea level pressure (SLP) data from the South Atlantic region. The analyses reveal the existence of interdecadal fluctuations in the coupled atmosphere‐ocean system with a period of around 20 years. The SST anomalies are observed to propagate anticyclonically around the South Atlantic basin following the subtropical gyre circulation. At the same time, a westward propagation of SLP anomalies across the basin generates changes in the atmospheric circulation that appear to reinforce such SST anomalies through anomalous exchanges of heat. It is thus proposed that the dominant physical processes involved in this interdecadal cycle include the horizontal advection of heat by the ocean currents and changes in the atmosphere‐ocean heat fluxes through local air‐sea interactions. The global SST and SLP patterns that accompany the different phases of the South Atlantic cycle are also presented. They show similarities with other well‐known interdecadal signals observed by several investigators in other ocean basins (e.g., the low‐frequency part of the North Atlantic Oscillation). This suggests that the South Atlantic signal described in this study may be a regional aspect of global interdecadal variability.

    Abstract: The poleward transport of heat in the mid‐Cretaceous (100 Ma) is examined using an idealized coupled ocean‐atmosphere model. The oceanic component consists of two zonally averaged basins representing the proto‐Pacific and proto‐Indian oceans and models the dynamics of the meridional thermohaline circulation. The atmospheric component is a simple energy and moisture balance model which includes the diffusive meridional transport of sensible heat and moisture. The ocean model is spun up with a variety of plausible Cretaceous surface temperature and salinity profiles, and a consistent atmosphere is objectively derived based on the resultant sea surface temperature and the surface heat and freshwater fluxes. The coupled model does not exhibit climate drift. Multiple equilibria of the coupled model are found that break the initial symmetry of the ocean circulation; several of these equilibria have one‐cell (northern or southern sinking) thermohaline circulation patterns. Two main classes of circulation are found: circulations where the densest water is relatively cool and is formed at the polar latitudes and circulations where the densest water is warm, but quite saline, and the strongest sinking occurs at the tropics. In all cases, significant amounts of warm, saline bottom water are formed in the proto‐Indian basin which modify the deepwater characteristics in the larger (proto‐Pacific) basin. Temperatures in the deep ocean are warm, 10°–17°C, in agreement with benthic foraminiferal oxygen isotope data. The poleward transport of heat in the modeled Cretaceous oceans is larger than in some comparable models of the present day thermohaline circulation and significantly larger than estimates of similar processes in the present‐day ocean. It is consistently larger in the polar sinking cases when compared with that seen in the tropical sinking cases, but this represents an increase of only 10%. The largest increase over present‐day model transports is in the atmospheric latent heat transport, where an increased hydrological cycle (especially in the tropical sinking cases) contributes up to an extra 1 PW of poleward heat transport. Better constraints on the oceanic deepwater circulation during this period are necessary before the meridional circulation can be unambiguously described.
