Analysis of the Meridional Energy Transport by Atmospheric Overturning Circulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he atmospheric meridional overturning circulation is computed using the interim European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts Re-Analysis (ERA-Interim) data. Meridional mass transport streamfunctions are calculated ...
Calculating Lagrangian Trajectories Using Time-Dependent Velocity Fields
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The authors report on the development of an efficient and accurate tool for computing Lagrangian trajectories using time-varying velocities. By linearly interpolating the velocities both in space and time one can obtain ...
Tracing the Origin of the South Asian Summer Monsoon Precipitation and Its Variability Using a Novel Lagrangian Framework
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
The Deacon Cell and the Other Meridional Cells of the Southern Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The meridional circulation cells of the Southern Ocean are investigated using the results from a fine-resolution primitive equation model. Zonal integration along depth levels shows the classical series of meridional cells ...
Observations of Transport Variability in the Baltic Sea by Parasitic Use of a Fiber-Optic Cable
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Transports between the Swedish mainland and the island of Gotland were studied by means of motionally induced voltages. The copper mantle of an existent fiber-optic telecommunications cable was grounded on Gotland, and the ...
The World Ocean Thermohaline Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: new global streamfunction is presented and denoted the thermohaline streamfunction. This is defined as the volume transport in terms of temperature and salinity (hence no spatial variables). The streamfunction is used to ...
The Atmospheric General Circulation in Thermodynamical Coordinates
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he zonal and meridional components of the atmospheric general circulation are used to define a global thermodynamic streamfunction in dry static energy versus latent heat coordinates. Diabatic motions in the tropical ...
Decoding Hosing and Heating Effects on Global Temperature and Meridional Circulations in a Warming Climate
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe global temperature changes under global warming result from two effects: one is the pure radiative heating effect caused by a change in greenhouse gases, and the other is the freshwater effect related to changes ...
Oceanic Overturning and Heat Transport: The Role of Background Diffusivity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The role of oceanic background diapycnal diffusion for the equilibrium climate state is investigated in the global coupled climate model CM2G. Special emphasis is put on the oceanic meridional overturning and heat transport. ...
Observed and Modeled Global Ocean Turbulence Regimes as Deduced from Surface Trajectory Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: large-scale tool for systematic analyses of the dispersal and turbulent properties of ocean currents and the subsequent separation of dynamical regimes according to the prevailing trajectories taxonomy in a certain area ...
