Abstract
The present study compares Sea Surface Temperature (SST), zonal mean temperature, and Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) determined using an ocean general circulation model, which is developed in State Key Laboratory of Numerical Modeling for Atmospheric Sciences and Geophysical Fluid Dynamics (LASG), Institute of Atmospheric Physics (IAP), its previous version, and two climate system models using it as the oceanic components. In particular, the differences between the two versions of ocean models and between uncoupled and coupled models are discussed.
