The Formation of Nonzonal Jets over Sloped Topography
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: oherent jets are ubiquitous features of the ocean?s circulation, and their characteristics, such as orientation and energetics, may be influenced by topography. In this study, the authors introduce a large-scale, topographic ...
Estimating a Submesoscale Diffusivity Using a Roughness Measure Applied to a Tracer Release Experiment in the Southern Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he use of a measure to diagnose submesoscale isopycnal diffusivity by determining the best match between observations of a tracer and simulations with varying small-scale diffusivities is tested. Specifically, the robustness ...
