  abstract = {{I}nternal variability of the {A}tlantic subpolar gyre is investigated in a 600 years control simulation of a comprehensive coupled climate model. {T}he subpolar gyre shows irregular oscillations of decadal time scale with most spectral power between 15 and 20 years. {P}ositive and negative feedback mechanisms act successively on the circulation leading to an internal oscillation. {T}his involves periodically enhanced deep convection in the subpolar gyre center and intermittently enhanced air-sea thermal coupling. {A}s a result, anomalies of the large-scale atmospheric circulation can be transferred to the ocean on the ocean's intrinsic time scale, exciting the oscillator stochastically. {A} detailed understanding of oscillatory mechanisms of the ocean and their sensitivity to atmospheric forcing holds considerable potential for decadal predictions as well as for the interpretation of proxy data records.},
