In this context the session is open to contributions on all aspects of the nonlinear dynamics of the atmosphere, the ocean and the climate system. Communications based on theoretical and modeling studies, as well as on experimental investigations are welcome. Studies that span the range of model hierarchy from idealized models to complex coupled AOGCMs, and those in which the methods of DST are applied are particularly encouraged. The session will discuss how natural variations due to internal nonlinear dynamical processes might contribute to the observed decadal climate variability, what kind of circulation regimes occur, what is their origin, and how they have changed in the past and could change in the future.
