Abstract

Abstract

Numerical simulation play an important role in studying long-term climate change. For a long time, it has meted great challenges in characterizing the phase transitions of interdecadal climate changes like Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO). This study evaluates 145-year (1870–2014) historical PDO simulation results produced by the First Institute of Oceanography’s Earth System Model Version 2 (FIO-ESM v2.0) of Ministry of Natural Resources, in a comparison with reanalysis datasets and two other earth system model results. Results indicate that the FIO-ESM v2.0 can recreate the spatial modal distribution characteristics of the PDO from the historical period. The model’s PDO index has a period of 10 to 30 years and can describe the phase transition characteristics that resembles reanalysis datasets after 1960. Research shows that the FIO-ESM v2.0 can describe the phase transition features of PDO well. In addition, the model performance to simulate atmospheric circulation modes and relationship with PDO, as well as the possible mechanism for the model to simulate PDO are also discussed. The PDO of the model is related to the Aleutian Mode of atmospheric circulation. Further analysis shows that advection and heat flux are the main factors affecting the amplitude of SST anomalies in key decadal area, and the Rossby wave westward time may be the key factor affecting the phase transition of PDO.
