Consider a summer day somewhere in Europe with an Atlantic ocean breeze, and compare it to a day influenced by winds blowing from the continent. The latter will tend to be more strongly affected [...] change, simply because the continents warm more strongly than the oceans. Can we be more specific? Yes! By using a climate model in a special way, where the winds are forced to follow the observed winds,

These archives contain what is referred to [...] However, these models do not reflect in detail processes in the ocean, which have a major influence on the climate. In response, the AWI has developed a special ocean model (FESOM), which simulates e.g. ocean currents and sea ice. For their climate simulations, AWI researchers have coupled the two atmospheric models and FESOM, yielding
