The climate variability in the North Atlantic sector is investigated in a 325-yr investigated in a 325-yr integration of the ECHAM1/LSG coupled ocean-atmosphere general circulation model. At the interannual timescale, the coupled model behaves realistically and sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies arise as a response of the oceanic surface layer to the stochastic forcing by the atmosphere, with the heat exchanges both generating and damping the SST anamalies. 45 refs., 16 figs.
