RISEddy Fluxes and Jet-Scale Overturning Circulations in the Indo–Western Pacific Southern Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he relationship between Antarctic Circumpolar Current jets and eddy fluxes in the Indo?western Pacific Southern Ocean (90°?145°E) is investigated using an eddy-resolving model. In this region, transient eddy momentum flux ...
A Decomposition of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation into Physical Components Using Its Sensitivity to Vertical Diffusivity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The sensitivity of the Atlantic Ocean meridional overturning circulation to the vertical diffusion coefficient ? in the global coupled atmosphere?ocean?sea ice model CLIMBER-3α is investigated. An important feature of the ...
Isopycnal Eddy Diffusivities and Critical Layers in the Kuroshio Extension from an Eddying Ocean Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: igh spatial resolution isopycnal diffusivities are estimated in the Kuroshio Extension (KE) region (28°?40°N, 120°?190°E) from a global ° Parallel Ocean Program (POP) simulation. The numerical float tracks are binned using ...
A Multiwavenumber Theory for Eddy Diffusivities and Its Application to the Southeast Pacific (DIMES) Region
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: multiwavenumber theory is formulated to represent eddy diffusivities. It expands on earlier single-wavenumber theories and includes the wide range of wavenumbers encompassed in eddy motions. In the limiting case in which ...
