Effects of Topography on Baroclinic Instability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he importance of bottom topography in the linear baroclinic instability of zonal flows on the ? plane is examined by using analytical calculations and a quasigeostrophic eddy-resolving numerical model. The particular focus ...
Eddy Trains and Striations in Quasigeostrophic Simulations and the Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study explores the relationship between coherent eddies and zonally elongated striations. The investigation involves an analysis of two baroclinic quasigeostrophic models of a zonal and double-gyre flow and a set of ...
On the Dynamics of Flows Induced by Topographic Ridges
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study describes a nonlocal mechanism for the generation of oceanic alternating jets by topographic ridges. The dynamics of these jets is examined using a baroclinic quasigeostrophic model configured with an isolated ...
Assimilation of Argo Temperature and Salinity Profiles Using a Bias-Aware EnOI Scheme for the Labrador Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractIn this study, temperature and salinity profiles from Argo floats are assimilated into a coupled ice?ocean model over the North Atlantic Ocean and Arctic using an ensemble optimal interpolation (EnOI) scheme, with ...
