Clement et al (Reports, 16 October 2015, p. 320) claim that the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) is a thermodynamic response of the ocean mixed layer to stochastic atmospheric forcing and that ocean circulation changes have no role in causing the AMO. These claims are not justified. We show that ocean dynamics play a central role in the AMO.
克莱门特等人(报告,2015 年 10 月 16 日,第 320 页)声称大西洋多年代际振荡(AMO)是海洋混合层对随机大气强迫的热力学响应,而海洋环流变化在导致 AMO 方面没有作用。这些说法没有充分依据。我们表明,海洋动力学在 AMO 中起着核心作用。
