RISDynamical Downscaling over the Great Lakes Basin of North America Using the WRF Regional Climate Model: The Impact of the Great Lakes System on Regional Greenhouse Warming
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF) is employed to dynamically downscale global warming projections produced using the Community Climate System Model (CCSM). The analyses are focused on the Great Lakes Basin ...
The Role of Curvature in Modifying Frontal Instabilities. Part I: Review of Theory and Presentation of a Nondimensional Instability Criterion
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
The Role of Curvature in Modifying Frontal Instabilities. Part II: Application of the Criterion to Curved Density Fronts at Low Richardson Numbers

Submesoscale Dynamics of a Gulf Stream Frontal Eddy in the South Atlantic Bight
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: rontal eddies are commonly observed and understood as the product of an instability of the Gulf Stream along the southeastern U.S. seaboard. Here, the authors study the dynamics of a simulated Gulf Stream frontal eddy in ...
Submesoscale Cold Filaments in the Gulf Stream
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: set of realistic, very high-resolution simulations is made for the Gulf Stream region using the oceanic model Regional Oceanic Modeling System (ROMS) to study the life cycle of the intense submesoscale cold filaments that ...
Gulf Stream Dynamics along the Southeastern U.S. Seaboard
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Gulf Stream strongly interacts with the topography along the southeastern U.S. seaboard, between the Straits of Florida and Cape Hatteras. The dynamics of the Gulf Stream in this region is investigated with a set of ...
Control and Stabilization of the Gulf Stream by Oceanic Current Interaction with the Atmosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Gulf Stream (GS) is known to have a strong influence on climate, for example, by transporting heat from the tropics to higher latitudes. Although the GS transport intensity presents a clear interannual variability, ...
Filament Frontogenesis by Boundary Layer Turbulence
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: submesoscale filament of dense water in the oceanic surface layer can undergo frontogenesis with a secondary circulation that has a surface horizontal convergence and downwelling in its center. This occurs either because ...
The Gulf Stream North Wall: Ageostrophic Circulation and Frontogenesis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractEastward zonal jets are common in the ocean and atmosphere, for example, the Gulf Stream and jet stream. They are characterized by atypically strong horizontal velocity, baroclinic vertical structure with an upward ...
Why Does the Deep Western Boundary Current “Leak” around Flemish Cap?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The southward-flowing deep limb of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation is composed of both the deep western boundary current (DWBC) and interior pathways. The latter are fed by “leakiness” from the DWBC in the ...
