A Numerical Investigation of a Nonlinear Model of a Wind-Driven Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Solutions are obtained for a time dependent, nonlinear model of a wind-driven ocean by a numerical integration of the corresponding initial value problem. Without time dependence the model and boundary conditions are ...
Michael Cox (1941–1989): His Pioneering Contributions to Ocean Circulation Modeling
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Michael Cox was a pioneer in the development and application of numerical models to the study of the ocean circulation. His simulation of the response of the Indian Ocean to the monsoons was one of the first applications ...
CLIMATE AND THE OCEAN CIRCULATION
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The ocean model used in a calculation of the earth's climate is described in detail. Compared with earlier numerical models used in ocean circulation studies, the present model includes several new features. Temperature ...
Poleward Buoyancy Transport in the Ocean and Mesoscale Eddies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: There are many dynamic similarities between mesoscale eddies in the ocean, and cyclones and anticyclones in the earth's atmosphere. Observational data, however, are still not adequate to explore this analogy in detail. In ...
THE INSTABILITY OF A TWO-LAYERED SYSTEM ENCLOSED BETWEEN HORIZONTAL, COAXIALLY ROTATING PLATES
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The motion of two homogeneous layers of fluid enclosed between horizontal plates, which rotate coaxially at slightly different angular velocities, has been investigated. The solution for the zonally symmetric forced motion ...
Accelerating the Convergence to Equilibrium of Ocean-Climate Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Solutions corresponding to climatic equilibrium are usually obtained from atmospheric general circulation models by extended numerical integration with respect to time. Because the ocean contains a much wider range of time ...
SEASONAL HEAT STORAGE IN THE NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The seasonal range in heat content of the upper two hundred meters of the water column has been calculated for latitude zones between 20N and 65N in the North Atlantic. The calculation was based on 20,000 bathythermograph ...
