RISStochastic Forcing of Ocean Variability by the North Atlantic Oscillation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: At middle and high latitudes, the magnitude of stochastic wind stress forcing of the ocean by atmospheric variability on synoptic time scales (i.e., ?weather? related variability) is comparable to that of the seasonal ...
Forcing of Low-Frequency Ocean Variability in the Northeast Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An ocean model is used to examine and compare the forcing mechanisms and underlying ocean dynamics of two dominant modes of ocean variability in the northeast Pacific (NEP). The first mode is identified with the Pacific ...
Stochastic Forcing of the North Atlantic Wind-Driven Ocean Circulation. Part I: A Diagnostic Analysis of the Ocean Response to Stochastic Forcing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: At midlatitudes, the magnitude of stochastic wind stress forcing due to atmospheric weather is comparable to that associated with the seasonal cycle. Stochastic forcing is therefore likely to have a significant influence ...
Stochastic Forcing of the North Atlantic Wind-Driven Ocean Circulation. Part II: An Analysis of the Dynamical Ocean Response Using Generalized Stability Theory
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: As discussed in Part I of this study, the magnitude of the stochastic component of wind stress forcing is comparable to that of the seasonal cycle and thus will likely have a significant influence on the ocean circulation. ...
