Double-Diffusive Recipes. Part I: Large-Scale Dynamics of Thermohaline Staircases
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: hree-dimensional dynamics of thermohaline staircases are investigated using a series of basin-scale staircase-resolving numerical simulations. The computational domain and forcing fields are chosen to reflect the size and ...
Mean Climate and Variability of the Atmosphere and Ocean on an Aquaplanet
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Numerical experiments are described that pertain to the climate of a coupled atmosphere?ocean?ice system in the absence of land, driven by modern-day orbital and CO2 forcing. Millennial time-scale simulations yield a mean ...
Dynamic Characteristics of Regional Flows around the Pyrénées in View of the PYREX Experiment. Part I: Analysis of the Pressure and Wind Fields and Experimental Assessment of the Applicability of the Linear Theory
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Pyrénées experiment (PYREX), launched by the French and Spanish meteorological services, had provided an extensive database that was used in the present work to describe the airflow around the Pyrénées and to evaluate ...
