Abstract: The response of an ocean general circulation model to the onset of deep-water formation in the North Atlantic Ocean is explored. The processes of baroclinic adjustment to the new deep water mass and the advection of the ...

Abstract: Two coarse-resolution model experiments are carried out on an OGCM to examine the effects of North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) formation on the thermohaline circulation (THC) and ventilation timescales of the abyssal ocean. ...

Abstract: A time-dependent trajectory algorithm is used to determine the sources of the Pacific Ocean Equatorial Undercurrent (EUC) in a global climate model with ¼° (eddy permitting) resolution and forced with realistic winds. The ...

Abstract: AbstractTwo state-of-the-art Earth system models (ESMs) were used in an idealized experiment to explore the role of mountains in shaping Earth?s climate system. Similar to previous studies, removing mountains from both ...
