Abstract: Rossby wave propagation is investigated in the framework of an idealized middle-latitude quasigeostrophic coupled ocean?atmosphere model. The Rossby waves are observed to propagate faster than both the classical linear ...

Abstract: he variability and compensation of the meridional energy transport in the atmosphere and ocean are examined with the state-of-the-art GFDL Climate Model, version 2.1 (CM2.1), and the GFDL Intermediate Complexity Coupled ...

Abstract: It has been suggested that a strengthening of the Southern Hemisphere winds would induce a more vigorous overturning through an increased northward Ekman flux, bringing more light waters into the oceanic basins and enhancing ...

Abstract: The importance of subtropical and extratropical zonal wind stress anomalies on Pacific subtropical cell (STC) strength is assessed through several idealized and realistic numerical experiments with a global ocean model. ...

Abstract: kinematic approach is used to diagnose the subduction rates of upper?Southern Ocean waters across seasonally migrating density outcrops at the base of the mixed layer. From an Eulerian viewpoint, the term representing the ...

Abstract: he sensitivity of the overturning circulation in the Southern Ocean to the recent decadal strengthening of the overlying winds is being discussed intensely, with some works attributing an inferred saturation of the Southern ...

Abstract: he evolution of the Pacific subtropical cells (STC) is presented for the period 1948?2007. Using ocean models of different resolutions forced with interannually varying atmospheric forcing datasets, the mechanisms responsible ...

Abstract: he authors present coupled model simulations in which the ocean's meridional overturning circulation (MOC) sets the zonal mean location of the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) in the hemisphere with deep-water production. ...
