RISThe Role of Preconditioning in the Evolution of Open-Ocean Deep Convection
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Large-eddy simulation of open-ocean deep convection shows that the evolution of convection appears in a fundamentally different pattern, depending on the precondition of the ocean and the magnitude of the surface buoyancy ...
The Relationship of Weddell Polynya and Open-Ocean Deep Convection to the Southern Hemisphere Westerlies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Weddell Polynya of the mid-1970s is simulated in an energy balance model (EBM) sea ice?ocean coupled general circulation model (GCM) with an abrupt 20% increase in the intensity of Southern Hemisphere (SH) westerlies. ...
The Role of Oscillating Southern Hemisphere Westerly Winds: Southern Ocean Coastal and Open-Ocean Polynyas
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractAn oscillation in intensity of the Southern Hemisphere westerly winds is a major characteristic of the southern annular mode. Its impact upon the sea ice?ocean interactions in the Weddell and Ross Seas is investigated ...
