A coupled ocean-atmosphere instability of relevance to the seasonal cycle

An instability mechanism is examined in a simple coupled ocean-atmosphere system using linear instability analyses and numerical model experiments. The instability analysis yields a family of antisymmetric and symmetric unstable SST modes.
