Abstract: nsights into the probability distribution of ocean currents are important for various applications such as the chance to encounter extreme events, which may affect, for example, marine construction, and for estimating the ...

Abstract: he Gulf of Eilat/Aqaba is a terminal, elongated basin that exchanges water with the northern Red Sea via the Straits of Tiran. This study used energy budgets of mean kinetic energy (MKE) and eddy kinetic energy (EKE; ...

Abstract: ceanic model simulations and model-based energy budget calculations have been used to quantitatively study the relative importance of different processes affecting the Gulf of Eilat/Aqaba dynamics and hydrographic conditions. ...

Abstract: The meridional freshwater flux in the atmosphere, and hence the strength of the hydrological cycle, undergoes variations on glacial?interglacial as well as on some shorter timescales. A significant portion of these changes ...

Abstract: The authors introduce a simple model for the time-dependent evolution of tropical ?hot spots,? or localized regions where the sea surface temperature (SST) becomes unusually high for a limited period of time. The model ...

Abstract: Although the sun crosses the equator 2 times per year at the equinoxes, at times in the past the equatorial insolation has had only one maximum and one minimum throughout the seasonal cycle because of Milankovitch orbital ...

Abstract: Ocean submesoscale (?2?20 km) mixing processes play a major role in ocean dynamics, in physical?biological interactions (e.g., in the dispersion of larvae), and in the dispersion of pollutants. In this paper, horizontal ...

Abstract: The authors study the NCEP?NCAR reanalysis temperature records and find that surface daily mean temperature cools rapidly and warms gradually at the midlatitudes (around 40°N and 40°S). This ?asymmetry? is partially related ...

Abstract: etween ~750 and 635 million years ago, during the Neoproterozoic era, the earth experienced at least two significant, possibly global, glaciations, termed ?Snowball Earth.? While many studies have focused on the dynamics ...
