Abstract: An idealized coupled ocean?atmosphere model is utilized to study the influence of horizontal resolution and parameterized eddy processes on the poleward heat transport in the climate system. A series of experiments ranging ...

Abstract: An idealized coupled ocean?atmosphere model is utilized to study the influence of horizontal resolution and parameterized eddy processes on the thermohaline circulation. A series of experiments ranging from 4° to 0.25° ...

Abstract: A diagnostic, finite element, barotropic ocean model has been used to simulate the mean circulation in the North Atlantic. With the inclusion of the joint effect of baroclinicity and relief (JEBAR), the Gulf Stream is found ...

Abstract: A linear, barotropic model of the North Atlantic at 1° ?1° resolution is employed to investigate the effect of using different wind-stress climatologies on the model response at the Florida Straits. The wind-stress ...
