Influence of the Barotropic Mean Flow on the Width and the Structure of the Atlantic Equatorial Deep Jets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: representation of an equatorial basin mode excited in a shallow-water model for a single high-order baroclinic vertical normal mode is used as a simple model for the equatorial deep jets. The model is linearized about both ...
Forcing of the Atlantic Equatorial Deep Jets Derived from Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he equatorial deep jets (EDJs) are a ubiquitous feature of the equatorial oceans; in the Atlantic Ocean, they are the dominant mode of interannual variability of the zonal flow at intermediate depth. On the basis of more ...
Role of Equatorial Basin-Mode Resonance for the Seasonal Variability of the Angola Current at 11°S
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractMultiyear moored velocity observations of the Angola Current near 11°S reveal a weak southward mean flow superimposed by substantial intraseasonal to seasonal variability, including annual and semiannual cycles ...
Annual and Semiannual Cycle of Equatorial Atlantic Circulation Associated with Basin-Mode Resonance
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: easonal variability of the tropical Atlantic circulation is dominated by the annual cycle, but semiannual variability is also pronounced, despite weak forcing at that period. This study uses multiyear, full-depth velocity ...
