The Role of Curvature in Modifying Frontal Instabilities. Part I: Review of Theory and Presentation of a Nondimensional Instability Criterion
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
The Role of Curvature in Modifying Frontal Instabilities. Part II: Application of the Criterion to Curved Density Fronts at Low Richardson Numbers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Short- and Medium-Range Prediction of Tropical and Transitioning Cyclone Tracks within the NCEP Global Ensemble Forecasting System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The NCEP Global Ensemble Forecasting System (GEFS) is examined in its ability to predict tropical cyclone and extratropical transition (ET) positions. Forecast and observed tracks are compared in Atlantic and western North ...
An Annual Cycle of Submesoscale Vertical Flow and Restratification in the Upper Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractNumerical simulations suggest that submesoscale turbulence may transform lateral buoyancy gradients into vertical stratification and thus restratify the upper ocean via vertical flow. However, the observational ...
Open-Ocean Submesoscale Motions: A Full Seasonal Cycle of Mixed Layer Instabilities from Gliders
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he importance of submesoscale instabilities, particularly mixed layer baroclinic instability and symmetric instability, on upper-ocean mixing and energetics is well documented in regions of strong, persistent fronts such ...
Mixing and Transformation in a Deep Western Boundary Current: A Case Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
