>Hi Keith, got this paper from Jens Hesselbjerg. Interesting with respect to the von Storch story. Eystein >A few comments in English: >We have used a different version of the MPI >coupled modeling system from that described by >von Storch et al. to simulate the last 500 >years. The model we have used has a different >ocean component (OPYC in stead of HOPE) and a >higher resolution in the atmosphere (T42 in >stead of T31 - by many considered to be a >substantial improvement in terms of representing >synoptic behavior). Moreover, we have used >different reconstructions of the external >forcing. All these differnces leads to somewhat >differnt behaviours compared to von Storch, and >yet the model does seem to depict many of the >observed major climatic events. Details are >given in the paper. > >venlig hilsen >Jens Hesselbjerg Christensen > > > -- ______________________________________________________________ Eystein Jansen Professor/Director Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research and Dep. of Earth Science, Univ. of Bergen Allégaten 55 N-5007 Bergen NORWAY e-mail: eystein.jansen@geo.uib.no Phone: +47-55-583491 - Home: +47-55-910661 Fax: +47-55-584330 Attachment Converted: "c:\eudora\attach\stendel_et_al_ClimDyn_final.pdf"
