| Abstract | Abstract. The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) exhibits variations at interannual to multidecadal time scales and is associated with climate variations over eastern North America, the North Atlantic, Europe, and North Africa. Therefore, it is very important to understand causes of these NAO variations and assess their predictability. It has been hypothesized, based on observations, that sea surface temperature (SST) and sea-ice variations in the North Atlantic Ocean influence the NAO. We describe results of an ensemble of sixteen experiments with an atmospheric general circulation model in which we used observed SST and sea-ice boundary conditions globally during 1949-1993. We show that multiyear NAO and associated climate variations can be simulated reasonably accurately if results |
