Abstract: urface sources and sinks of potential vorticity (PV) have been examined recently in various publications. These are normally identified as the mechanical and buoyant PV fluxes with the former scaled according to wind stress ...

Abstract: ode waters are a distinctive baroclinic feature of the World Ocean characterized by relatively weak vertical stratification. They correspond dynamically to low potential vorticity (PV). In the North Atlantic subtropical ...

Abstract: o understand the atmospheric response to a midlatitude oceanic front, this paper uses a quasigeostrophic (QG) model with moist processes. A well-known, three-level QG model on the sphere has been modified to include such ...

Abstract: his paper focuses on potential vorticity (PV) budgets in the North Atlantic with an emphasis on the wind-driven subtropical gyre. Since PV is the key dynamical variable of the wind-driven circulation, these budgets are ...

Abstract: The non-hydrostatic version of the mountain flow theory presented in Part I is detailed. In the near neutral case, the surface pressure decreases when the flow crosses the mountain to balance an increase in surface friction ...

Abstract: model of the marine atmospheric boundary layer is developed for ocean-only modeling in order to better represent air?sea exchanges. This model computes the evolution of the atmospheric boundary layer temperature and humidity ...

Abstract: he dynamics of current retroflection and rings shedding are not yet fully understood. In this paper, the authors develop an analytical model of the Agulhas Current retroflection dynamics using three simple laws: conservation ...

Abstract: obust and accurate Gulf Stream separation remains an unsolved problem in general circulation modeling whose resolution will positively impact the ocean and climate modeling communities. Oceanographic literature does not ...

Abstract: AbstractCoupled data assimilation is emerging as a target approach for Earth system prediction and reanalysis systems. Coupled data assimilation may be indeed able to minimize unbalanced air?sea initialization and maximize ...
