Abstract: A series of coarse-resolution models were integrated with a view to determining the most appropriate representation of the largest-scale water masses formed in the Southern Ocean. In particular, it was hoped that the models ...

Abstract: The age of water in the World Ocean is studied using a passive age tracer introduced into a global ocean model. Additional information is derived from a transient ?dye? tracer that tracks the time-dependent spreading of ...

Abstract: A hierarchy of coarse-resolution World Ocean experiments were integrated with a view to determining the most appropriate representation of the global-scale water masses in ocean general circulation models. The largest-scale ...

Abstract: A series of experiments with a hybrid model (ocean circulation model with simple atmospheric feedback model) and an ocean-only model is used to study the sensitivity of the ocean?s deep overturning circulation to Southern ...

Abstract: The natural variability of the Weddell Sea variety of Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) is examined in a long-term integration of a coupled climate model. Examination of passive tracer concentrations suggests that the model ...

Abstract: The Indonesian Throughflow (ITF) variability is assessed using a retrospective analysis of the global ocean based on the Simple Ocean Data Assimilation (SODA) experiment spanning the period 1950?99. A comparison between ...

Abstract: The sensitivity of ventilation timescales and radiocarbon (14C) uptake to subgrid-scale mixing parameterization is studied in a global ocean model. Seven experiments are examined that are identical in every manner except ...

Abstract: The variability of Antarctic Intermediate Water (AAIW) in a long-term natural integration of a coupled climate model is examined. The mean state of the climate model includes a realistic representation of AAIW, which appears ...
