Chaotic Variability of Ocean Heat Content: Climate-Relevant Features and Observational Implications

Chaotic Variability of Ocean Heat Content: Climate-Relevant Features and Observational Implications

Global ocean models that admit mesoscale turbulence spontaneously generate interannual-to-multidecadal chaotic intrinsic variability in the absence of atmospheric forcing variability at these timescales. This phenomenon is substantially weaker in non-turbulent ocean models but provides a marked stoc...
