Abstract:A new technique to derive delay models from systems of partial differential equations, based on the Mori–Zwanzig (MZ) formalism, is used to derive a delay-difference equation model for the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO). The MZ formalism gives a rewriting of the original system of equations, which contains a memory term. This memory term can be related to a delay term in a resulting delay equation. Here, the technique is applied to an idealized, but spatially extended, model of the AMO. The resulting … Show more
