Tropical Pacific interactions in the WCRP-CMIP3 multi-model dataset

The ability of numerical models in reproducing the observed statistical links between the sea surface temperature of central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean is analysed in this paper. Significant links in the whole spectrum of frequency were studied for models of the World Climate Research Progra...
