Abstract: A direct estimate of oceanic meridional heat flux at 30°8 yields a result between +1.15 ? 1015 W and +2.27 ? 1015 W. The estimate is based on hydrographic data from individual cruises and climatological wind data. The ...

Abstract: Observations of relative dispersion statistics for stratospheric balloons, including velocity structure functions, relative diffusivities and separation kurtoses, are shown to be consistent with nonlocal dynamics rather ...

Abstract: Approximate outgoing radiation conditions have been widely used at open boundaries in dispersive wave computations. Exact outgoing radiation conditions are constructed here for infinitesimal surface inertia-gravity waves, ...

Abstract: There is some disagreement in the current literature, about the well-posedness of the barotropic vorticity equation in an open region, subject to inflow boundary conditions. It is argued here that the problem is ill-posed.

Abstract: The S1, skill score of the operational Australian Region Primitive Equation Model may be, reduced by a statistical correction scheme, in which the model prognosis of MSL pressure is used to predict errors in the MSL pressure ...

Abstract: Ocean circulation models are infinite-dimensional dynamical systems. If the Kalman filter is used to assimilate data into such systems, then their infinite-dimensionality must be recognized. In other words, numerical ...

Abstract: The errors in a barotropic filtered model of the Australian region at 500 mb are shown to be correlated with the numerical prognoses. Using the latter as predictors, an optimal linear prediction of the errors is found to ...

Abstract: Classical models of tides in open coastal regions employ ad hoc conditions on the open boundaries instead of reliable sea level data on the coastline in order to achieve a well-posed problem. A weighted variational formulation ...

Abstract: A statistical correction scheme significantly reduces the mean S1 skill score of the Australian Region Primitive Equation Model. However, on a number of days, the statistically predicted corrections degrade the dynamical ...
