Constraining a North Atlantic Ocean General Circulation Model with Chlorofluorocarbon Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Measurements of anthropogenic tracers such as chlorofluorocarbons and tritium must be quantitatively combined with ocean general circulation models as a component of systematic model development. The authors have developed ...
On the Nature and Variability of the East Greenland Spill Jet: A Case Study in Summer 2003
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: esults from a high-resolution (~2 km) numerical simulation of the Irminger Basin during summer 2003 are presented. The focus is on the East Greenland Spill Jet, a recently discovered component of the circulation in the ...
On Cabbeling and Thermobaricity in the Surface Mixed Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe surface mixed layer (ML) governs atmosphere?ocean fluxes, and thereby affects Earth?s climate. Accurate representation of ML processes in ocean models remains a challenge, however. The O(100) m deep ML exhibits ...
“WEATHER IN A TANK”—Exploiting Laboratory Experiments in the Teaching of Meteorology, Oceanography, and Climate
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A collaboration between faculty and students at six universities in a project called Weather in a Tank is described, in which ways of teaching atmosphere, ocean, and climate dynamics are explored that bring students into ...
THE GREENLAND FLOW DISTORTION EXPERIMENT
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Greenland has a major influence on the atmospheric circulation of the North Atlantic?western European region, dictating the location and strength of mesoscale weather systems around the coastal seas of Greenland and directly ...
