A Numerical Investigation of the Annual Variability in the Gulf of California
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The observations of sea level at the annual frequency in the Gulf of California are reproduced both in amplitude and phase with a horizontal two-dimensional linear two-layer model. The main forcing agents through which ...
Seasonal Gyres in the Northern Gulf of California
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The circulation pattern in the northern Gulf of California, based on drifting buoys and hydrographic observations, can be explained using the results of a linear two-layer primitive equations model forced, at the annual ...
The Effect of the Seasonal Variation of Stratification on the Circulation of the Northern Gulf of California
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Direct current measurements reveal that the circulation of the northern Gulf of California in the annual timescale consists of a cyclonic basinwide gyre (?0.35 m s?1) that lasts from June to September (4 months), and an ...
Large-Scale Forcing of the Agulhas Variability: The Seasonal Cycle
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this article the authors examine the kinematics and dynamics of the seasonal cycle in the western Indian Ocean in an eddy-permitting global simulation [Parallel Ocean Circulation Model, model run 4C (POCM-4C)]. Seasonal ...
