Higher atmosphere resolution(2.5x1.8 vs. 3.75x2.5) NCEP A"HiRes" ACTRL Clear improvement of wind variability (Niño 4)
Higher atmosphere resolution CTRL "HiRes" <SST> ICS Larger El Niño variability (+ 15% amplitude) Slightly larger ICS, larger non-linearity
HH20 vs 2L20 conclusions • Pas de révolution dans état moyen et SC (mais légères améliorations) • Nette amélioration de la variabilité en vent dans le Pacifique central (même si progrès encore possibles ! • Du coup, El Niño est plus fort (+15% - trop fort en fait) • Suite: • regarder VV20 et 1 degré • comprendre trop faible variabilité en vent (runs IFC) • analyse feedback flux de chaleur
Impact of correction on wind stress variability (IFC) SC SC O NCEP AIFC ACTRL Anot much corrected (via SSTA) Over correction O as « non-linearity » added during growing phase via SC SC
Radiative feedbacks Analysis of 9 AMIP forced AGCM (IPCC AR4) (Sun al. 2006) • Too weak negative net feedback from atmosphereleads to unrealistically high sensitivity to small flux errors • Main contributors: cloud albedo and atmosphere transport feedbacks • Linked to a too strong water vapour feedback (underestimation of equatorial precipitation response) Response of net surface heating to ENSO warming El Niño in coupled GCMs – Eric Guilyardi – WGNE/PCMDI, San Francisco – Feb 2007
Impact of U* (Passage du courant)
Tropical Instability Waves SST (shading) + wind div. • TIW “seen” by T106 T30 • U* (TIW) “seen” by wind stress calculation U*=0 U*0 T106 Navarra et al. 2006
U*=0 vs. U*0 • Impact on tropical variability shown in SINTEX-F (T106) SST correlation with nino3 SST U*=0 U*0 Reduced CS and Tau variability, Slightly reduced El Niño amplitude (Luo, Masson et al., 2006)

Impact on mean state SST errors Diff. with obs CTRL U* run IPSL INGV
Impact on interannual variability (IPSL) CTRL U* run Ocean Atmos
Impact on interannual variability (INGV) CTRL U* run Ocean Atmos
Preliminary conclusions of U* runs • Including U* in wind stress computation: • slightly slows down trade winds, mostly in spring (good) • slightly warms west Pacific (good) • slightly reduces El Niño amplitude (why ?)
