Decadal Buoyancy Forcing in a Simple Model of the Subtropical Gyre
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The decadal response of the ventilated thermocline to surface buoyancy forcing is investigated, using simplified mixed layer thermodynamics and two-layer planetary geostrophic dynamics. The model is forced by a stationary ...
On the Spatial and Temporal Variability of Atmospheric Heat Transport in a Hierarchy of Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he present study analyses the spatial and temporal variability of zonally integrated meridional atmospheric heat transport due to transient eddies in a hierarchy of datasets. These are a highly idealised two-layer model ...
An Idealized Model Study of the Mass and Heat Transports between the Subpolar and Subtropical Gyres
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The response of an ocean model of the subtropical and subpolar gyres to idealized surface forcing anomalies that mimic the thermal and mechanical forcing associated with the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) is analyzed. ...
A Diagnostic Study of the Role of Remote Forcing in Tropical Atlantic Variability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This observational study focuses on remote forcing of the dominant pattern of north tropical Atlantic sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies by ENSO and NAO. Based on a spring SST index of the north tropical Atlantic (NTA) ...
