Abstract: The paper presents a new self-consistent method to infer missing data from oceanographic data series and to extract the relevant empirical orthogonal functions. As a by-product, the new method allows for the detection of ...

Abstract: A method to improve the behavior of the numerical discretization of a rotated diffusion operator such as, for example, the isopycnal diffusion parameterization used in large-scale ocean models based on the so-called ...

Abstract: The conversion of barotropic to baroclinic M2 tidal energy is examined for a section of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge in the Brazil Basin using a primitive equation model. Model runs are made with different horizontal smoothing ...

Abstract: A high-resolution primitive equation model simulation is used to form an energy budget for the principal semidiurnal tide (M2) over a region of the Hawaiian Ridge from Niihau to Maui. This region includes the Kaena Ridge, ...
