Abstract: The question of whether anticyclones can split and break up is readdressed using a numerical, multilayer, primitive equation model. Applying the conservation of integrated angular momentum (IAM) to barotropic and baroclinic ...

Abstract: The Ocean Circulation and Climate Advanced Modelling (OCCAM) global, eddy-permitting ocean general circulation model has been used to investigate the surface eddy mass flux in the Southern Ocean. The isopycnal eddy mass ...

Abstract: The transport of heat, momentum and vorticity during the fife cycle of an unstable baroclinic wave that displays ring formation are investigated. Experiments have been carried out with a primitive equation numerical model. ...

Abstract: Substantial interannual to decadal variability is observed in the properties of subtropical mode water of the North Atlantic. In this study the response of mode water to stochastic atmospheric forcing is investigated in a ...

Abstract: Subduction is the process by which fluid transfers from the mixed layer to the interior of the ocean. South of the Gulf Stream extension, 18° mode water is formed in a region of high subduction rates. In this region there ...

Abstract: Data from a global ocean general circulation model (OCCAM) has been used to investigate the interocean exchange of thermocline and intermediate waters in the South Atlantic Ocean. To resolve the pathways between different ...

Abstract: Signal-to-noise patterns for the meridional overturning circulation (MOC) have been calculated for an ensemble of greenhouse scenario runs. The greenhouse-forced signal has been defined as the linear trend in ensemble-mean ...

Abstract: The response of mode water formation to typical atmospheric forcing anomalies is studied as a possible mechanism for generating the observed interannual to decadal variability in mode water. An isopycnal model of the North ...

Abstract: The transformation of water masses induced by air?sea fluxes in the South Atlantic Ocean is calculated with a global ocean model, Ocean Circulation and Climate Advanced Modeling (OCCAM), and has been compared with several ...
