Abstract: Cold air blowing out over a warm ocean leads to convection over an isolated region of the ocean basin. This phenomenon, known as open-ocean convection, is often simulated by convective forcing from a circular disk much ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the energetics of the internal waves generated by the tide on the northern edge of Georges Bank in the outer Gulf of Maine?-a region of strong tidal flow, a density/temperature front, and abrupt ...

Abstract: Lagrangian stochastic (LS) modeling is a common technique in atmospheric boundary layer modeling but is relatively new in coastal oceanography. This paper presents some fundamental aspects of LS modeling as they pertain ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional, z-level, primitive-equation ocean circulation model (DieCAST) is modified to include a free-surface and partial cells. The updating of free-surface elevation is implicit in time so that the extra ...

Abstract: A low-order, basin-averaged, coupled atmosphere?ocean paleoclimate model is developed and the results from a 3.2-Myr model paleointegration described. A three-basin version of the Wright?Stocker ocean model is used to ...
