AB: From a number of seasonal integrations of the COLA AGCM using observed SST, the signal and noise components will be diagnosed. A similar computation will be made from seasonal integrations conducted with the same model but forced with climatological SST. The difference between these two integrations, in effect will provide us the role of varying SST on seasonal climate variability exhibited by the COLA AGCM. Furthermore, the variability in the seasonal integrations forced by climatogical SST is forced from land-atmosphere integrations and or the internal dyanmics of the model. Active regions of atmospheric variability forced by land, ocean and both the components will be identified from these experiments. In effect, this study will show areas of potential predictability of the COLA AGCM that is forced from land and ocean components of the climate system.
