RISPreconditioning of the Weddell Sea Polynya by the Ocean Mesoscale and Dense Water Overflows
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe Weddell Sea polynya is a large opening in the open-ocean sea ice cover associated with intense deep convection in the ocean. A necessary condition to form and maintain a polynya is the presence of a strong ...
Mechanisms Maintaining Southern Ocean Meridional Heat Transport under Projected Wind Forcing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: eridional heat transport (MHT) in the Southern Ocean (SO) and its components are analyzed with two eddy-permitting climate models. The two models present a consistent picture of the MHT response to projected twenty-first-century ...
Acceleration of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current by Wind Stress along the Coast of Antarctica
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he influence of wind forcing on variability of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) is investigated using a series of eddy-permitting ocean?sea ice models. At interannual and decadal time scales the ACC transport is ...
On the Role of the Antarctic Slope Front on the Occurrence of the Weddell Sea Polynya under Climate Change

Geostrophic and Mesoscale Eddy Contributions to the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation Decline under CO2 Increase in the GFDL CM2-O Model Suite
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Vertical Eddy Fluxes in the Southern Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he overturning circulation of the Southern Ocean has been investigated using eddying coupled ocean?sea ice models. The circulation is diagnosed in both density?latitude coordinates and in depth?density coordinates. ...
Role of Mesoscale Eddies in Cross-Frontal Transport of Heat and Biogeochemical Tracers in the Southern Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study examines the role of processes transporting tracers across the Polar Front (PF) in the depth interval between the surface and major topographic sills, which this study refers to as the ?PF core.? A preindustrial ...
Impacts on Ocean Heat from Transient Mesoscale Eddies in a Hierarchy of Climate Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he authors characterize impacts on heat in the ocean climate system from transient ocean mesoscale eddies. Their tool is a suite of centennial-scale 1990 radiatively forced numerical climate simulations from three GFDL ...
