Mesoscale to Submesoscale Transition in the California Current System. Part III: Energy Balance and Flux
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This is the last of a suite of three papers about the transition that occurs in numerical simulations for an idealized equilibrium, subtropical, eastern-boundary upwelling current system similar to the California Current. ...
Properties of Steady Geostrophic Turbulence with Isopycnal Outcropping
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: igh-resolution simulations of ?-channel, zonal-jet, baroclinic turbulence with a three-dimensional quasigeostrophic (QG) model including surface potential vorticity (PV) are analyzed with emphasis on the competing role of ...
Mesoscale to Submesoscale Transition in the California Current System. Part I: Flow Structure, Eddy Flux, and Observational Tests
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In computational simulations of an idealized subtropical eastern boundary upwelling current system, similar to the California Current, a submesoscale transition occurs in the eddy variability as the horizontal grid scale ...
Mesoscale to Submesoscale Transition in the California Current System. Part II: Frontal Processes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This is the second of three papers investigating the regime transition that occurs in numerical simulations for an idealized, equilibrium, subtropical, eastern boundary, upwelling current system similar to the California ...
