Vertical Structure of Midlatitude Mesoscale Instabilities
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Instability processes in frontal jet regions outside the western boundary currents are examined for their ability to produce mesoscale variability comparable to that observed in the open ocean. The important of sufficient ...
Circumpolar Influences on the Weddell Sea: Indication of an Antarctic Circumpolar Coastal Wave
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Antarctic circumpolar wave is now a well-known feature that can be detected in atmospheric, oceanic mixed layer, and sea-ice data. In this coupled ice?ocean model driven by 40 yr of daily atmospheric forcing data, it ...
Numerical Simulation of Flow around a Tall Isolated Seamount. Part I: Problem Formulation and Model Accuracy
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A sigma coordinate ocean circulation model is employed to study flow trapped to a tall seamount in a periodic f-plane channel. In Part I, errors arising from the pressure gradient formulation in the steep topography/strong ...
Effects of Increased Horizontal Resolution in a Simulation of the North Atlantic Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Global mean and eddy fields from a four-year experiment with a 1/6° ? 1/5° horizontal resolution implementation of the CME North Atlantic model are presented. The time-averaged wind-driven and thermohaline circulation in ...
Numerical Simulation of Flow around a Tall Isolated Seamount. Part II: Resonant Generation of Trapped Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A sigma-coordinate, primitive equation ocean circulation model is used to explore the problem of the remnant generation of trapped waves about a tall, circular, isolated seamount by an incident oscillatory barotropic ...
