Abstract: Climate variability is simply represented by teleconnection patterns such as the Arctic Oscillation (AO), Antarctic Oscillation (AAO), North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), Pacific?North American pattern (PNA), and Southern ...

Abstract: The Lorenz system is used to discuss two kinds of predictability: the model sensitivity to inaccurate initial conditions (first kind) and to inaccurate boundary conditions (second kind). The first kind of predictability ...

Abstract: A new optimal linear fitting method has been developed to determine mixed layer depth from profile data. This methodology includes three steps: 1) fitting the profile data from the first point near the surface to a depth ...

Abstract: How to reduce the horizontal pressure gradient error is a key issue of using σ-coordinate ocean models, especially of using primitive equation models for coastal regions. The error is caused by the splitting of the horizontal ...

Abstract: eduction of computational error is a key issue in computing Lagrangian trajectories using gridded velocities. Computational accuracy enhances from using the first term (constant velocity scheme), the first two terms (linear ...

Abstract: How to reduce the computational error is a key issue in numerical modeling and simulation. The higher the order of the difference scheme, the less the truncation error and the more complicated the computation. For compromise, ...

Abstract: Ocean (T, S) data analysis/assimilation, conducted in the three-dimensional physical space, is a generalized average of purely observed data (data analysis) or of modeled/observed data (data assimilation). Because of the ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the seasonal variabilities of the South China Sea isopycnal-surface circulations and of the Kuroshio intrusion through the Luzon Strait using the U.S. Navy?s climatological temperature and salinity ...

Abstract: The authors investigate the effect of a change in the rate of thermal damping upon the climate of an ocean general circulation model. Initially, the thermal forcing condition is that proposed by Haney, that is, restoring ...
