Subsequent ensemble statistics show that the ocean variability can be seen as a broadband "noise," with characteristic scales reaching multiple decades and basin sizes, locally modulated by the atmospheric variability.

CONT

Notre compréhension de la variabilité de l'océan reste cependant limitée par le manque d'observations historiques. Toutefois, une grande partie de la variabilité océanique est forcée par l'atmosphère : les vents génèrent des courants, l'évaporation et la pluie modifient la salinité de l'eau de mer, et les flux de chaleur air-mer agissent sur la température.
