Abstract: The multiple equilibria of the thermohaline circulation (THC: used here in the sense of the meridional overturning circulation) as function of the surface freshwater flux has been studied intensively following a Stommel ...

Abstract: nsights into the probability distribution of ocean currents are important for various applications such as the chance to encounter extreme events, which may affect, for example, marine construction, and for estimating the ...

Abstract: Although the sun crosses the equator 2 times per year at the equinoxes, at times in the past the equatorial insolation has had only one maximum and one minimum throughout the seasonal cycle because of Milankovitch orbital ...

Abstract: The authors study the NCEP?NCAR reanalysis temperature records and find that surface daily mean temperature cools rapidly and warms gradually at the midlatitudes (around 40°N and 40°S). This ?asymmetry? is partially related ...

Abstract: The association of topographic waves with wind action has been documented in several natural lakes throughout the world. However, the influence of the wind?s spatial variability (wind stress curl) on the frequency of ...

Abstract: etween ~750 and 635 million years ago, during the Neoproterozoic era, the earth experienced at least two significant, possibly global, glaciations, termed ?Snowball Earth.? While many studies have focused on the dynamics ...
