Abstract

Climate models can help meteorologists understand 'blocking'. The newest generation of general circulation models is able to simulate blocking quite realistically. The influence of abnormal sea surface temperature conditions on blocking can be investigated with 'sensitivity experiments'.-D.G.Tout

N1 - Funding Information: cause of climatic change down through the earth’s history. This research has centered on the warm, equable Cretaceous Period, approximately 65 to 135 million years ago, because conditions in that period contrasted sharply in both geography and climate with present-day conditions. For each model simulation of global atmospheric circulation based on Cretaceous geography, it is possible to infer the surface wind patterns of that time, and thus the locations of coastal upwelling. Preliminary research along these lines at NCAR with the Community Climate Model seems promising. Many of the Cretaceous upwelling regions predicted in this way have been confirmed by comparison with the record of the Cretaceous rocks.
