Efforts toward attaining the goal of our CO{sub 2} research, namely determining the role of the ocean in the climate changes we can expect with increased CO{sub 2}, have centered on two major activities. First, we have performed further extensive analyses of our model runs with the NCAR CCM coupled to a simple energy balance, or swamp'' ocean, and with the CCM coupled to a simple 50 m deep mixed layer or slab'' ocean. Second, we have been running the atmospheric CCM coupled to an ocean GCM to prepare a control run for comparison to a 2 {times} CO{sub 2} experiment. 2 figs.
