The World Ocean Thermohaline Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: new global streamfunction is presented and denoted the thermohaline streamfunction. This is defined as the volume transport in terms of temperature and salinity (hence no spatial variables). The streamfunction is used to ...
Defining a Simplified Yet “Realistic” Equation of State for Seawater
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: here is a growing realization that the nonlinear nature of the equation of state has a deep impact on the global ocean circulation; however, the understanding of the global effects of these nonlinearities remains elusive. ...
Climatologically Significant Effects of Some Approximations in the Bulk Parameterizations of Turbulent Air–Sea Fluxes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his paper quantifies the impacts of approximations and assumptions in the parameterization of bulk formulas on the exchange of momentum, heat, and freshwater computed between the ocean and atmosphere. An ensemble of ...
Observed and Modeled Global Ocean Turbulence Regimes as Deduced from Surface Trajectory Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: large-scale tool for systematic analyses of the dispersal and turbulent properties of ocean currents and the subsequent separation of dynamical regimes according to the prevailing trajectories taxonomy in a certain area ...
The Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere Hydrothermohaline Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he thermohaline circulation of the ocean is compared to the hydrothermal circulation of the atmosphere. The oceanic thermohaline circulation is expressed in potential temperature?absolute salinity space and comprises a ...
