Time-mean and trends for the period 1948-2007 are analysed in a suite of global ocean-sea ice models forced with CORE-II forcing, focusing on the ACC, MOC, water masses and sea-ice evolution.

This study shows how climate change due to humans has affected the probability that extreme events in South America and Southern Africa evolved in the way that they did.
