Abstract:
This study is based on a three-dimensional hydrodynamic model of the global climate including a atmospheric general circulation model, a model of the ocean in the geostrophic approximation with a frictional term in the equations of horizontal momentum with the actual configuration of depths and continents, and a model of the evolution of sea ice. Computations of forecasting the climate until 2100 with the use of scenarios of a growth in CO$_2$ are presented. A significant decrease in meridional water flow in the Atlantic in the case of the stringent scenario is established.
