Abstract: A multilevel numerical model is applied to the equatorial Pacific Ocean, driven by long-term averaged, monthly varying winds. In agreement with satellite-observed sea surface temperatures, the solution is unstable at certain ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional numerical ocean model is used to study the transient response of the western boundary region of a tropical ocean to the sudden onset of winds parallel to the boundary. In particular, the behavior of ...

Abstract: A primitive equation, eddy-resolving numerical model is used to study the inherent time scales of variability in the subtropical ocean, assuming temporally constant surface forcing. Three primary scales arise: mesoscale ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional, primitive equation numerical model is used to study the effects of mesoscale eddies within the subtropical thermocline. Solutions are obtained for an ocean bounded by idealized topography are driven ...

Abstract: A primitive equation, three-dimensional numerical model of the ocean, employing idealized versions of the real topography and surface boundary conditions, is used to study the water mass structure of the World Ocean. In ...

Abstract: Calculations are carried out for a homogeneous model of the World Ocean. Solutions for the large-scale, wind-driven circulation are obtained by numerical integration with respect to time of a numerical model. The model ...

Abstract: An analysis is made of the heat and vorticity balance of a numerical model of a baroclinic ocean. The computation is carried out on a three-dimensional grid designed to resolve the thermocline, and the narrow sidewall ...

Abstract: A numerical experiment is carried out to investigate the circulation of an ocean, driven by a prescribed density gradient and wind stress at the surface. The mathematical formulation includes in one model most of the ...

Abstract: A steady state numerical solution is found for an idealized, rectangular ocean basin driven by wind and surface buoyancy flux. A three-dimensional primitive equation model is used. In agreement with recent analytical ...
