Zusammenfassung |
In this paper the effect of the synoptic scale variability is
analyzed using a simple atmosphere-ocean coupled model. This high
frequency variability has been taken into account in the model
adding white gaussian noise in variables related to zonal and
meridional temperature differences. Results show that synoptic scale
frequency variability on longitudinal heating contrast between
land and sea can produce a collapse of thermohaline circulation
when a threshold of noise is overcome. This result is significant
because if synoptic scale variability in the next century increases due to
the climatic change an increment of the probability of this
collapse could be produced. |
