RISThe Relative Importance of Northern Overflow and Subpolar Deep Convection for the North Atlantic Thermohaline Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The relative importance of the formation of different North Atlantic Deep Water masses on the meridional overturning is examined with a non-eddy-resolving version of the CME model. In contrast to a frequently held belief, ...
Response of Circulation and Heat Transport in the North Atlantic to Changes in Thermohaline Forcing in Northern Latitudes: A Model Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: To avoid an explicit simulation of the overflows across the Greenland-Scotland ridge, many models of the large-scale ocean circulation seek to include the net effect of the inflowing dense water masses by restoring temperature ...
Monthly Mean Wind Stress and Sverdrup Transports in the North Atlantic: A Comparison of the Hellerman–Rosenstein and Isemer–Hasse Climatologies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The monthly mean wind stress climatology of Hellerman and Rosenstein (HR) is compared with the climatology of Isemer and Hasse (IH), which represents a version of the Bunker atlas (BU) for the North Atlantic based on revised ...
Seasonal Transport Variation in the Western Subtropical North Atlantic: Experiments with an Eddy-resolving Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A high-resolution model of the wind-driven and thermohaline circulation in the North and equatorial Atlantic Ocean is used to study the structure and variability of the boundary current system at 26°N, including the Florida ...
Deep-Water Formation and Meridional Overturning in a High-Resolution Model of the North Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The authors use different versions of the model of the wind- and thermohaline-driven circulation in the North and Equatorial Atlantic developed under the WOCE Community Modeling Effort to investigate the mean flow pattern ...
