RISSensitivity of the Global Thermohaline Circulation to Interbasin Freshwater Transport by the Atmosphere and the Bering Strait Throughflow
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Sensitivity of the global thermohaline circulation to interbasin freshwater transport by the atmosphere and the Bering Strait throughflow is investigated by using a free-surface, coarse-resolution ocean general circulation ...
Pacific Water Transport in the Western Arctic Ocean Simulated by an Eddy-Resolving Coupled Sea Ice–Ocean Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The process of the Pacific water transport in the Chukchi Sea and the southern Canada Basin is investigated by using an eddy-resolving coupled sea ice?ocean model. The simulation result demonstrates that the Pacific water ...
Dynamics of Cross-Isobath Dense Water Transport Induced by Slope Topography
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ynamics of cross-isobath downslope transport of a dense water mass induced by small-scale topographic variation is investigated based on a high-resolution numerical experiment with realistic settings, a simplified analytical ...
Effects of Freshwater Forcing on the Atlantic Deep Circulation: A Study with an OGCM Forced by Two Different Surface Freshwater Flux Datasets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Numerical experiments are conducted using a sea ice?coupled ocean general circulation model (OGCM) forced by two different freshwater flux datasets. These two datasets are the National Centers for Environmental Prediction? ...
Sensitivity of a Global Ocean General Circulation Model to Tracer Advection Schemes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Vertical diffusivity at the thermocline depths is now believed to be as small as 1 ? 10?5 m2 s?1. In order to accomplish a reliable simulation of the World Ocean for the vertical diffusivity of 1 ? 10?5 m2 s?1, two advective ...
A Series of Zonal Jets Embedded in the Broad Zonal Flows in the Pacific Obtained in Eddy-Permitting Ocean General Circulation Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A series of zonal currents in the Pacific Ocean is investigated using eddy-permitting ocean general circulation models. The zonal currents in the subsurface are classified into two parts: one is a series of broad zonal ...
Intensification of the Atlantic Deep Circulation by the Canadian Archipelago Throughflow
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Low-salinity water export through the Canadian Archipelago is one of the main components of the freshwater budget in the Arctic Ocean. Nevertheless, the Canadian Archipelago is closed in most global ocean models. How it ...
Generation and Growth Mechanism of the Natal Pulse
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Natal pulses, solitary cyclonic meanders in the Agulhas Current, are reproduced in an ocean general circulation model. The model covers the region around the Agulhas Current with a grid fine enough to reproduce major ...
Brine-Driven Eddies under Sea Ice Leads and Their Impact on the Arctic Ocean Mixed Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Eddy generation induced by a line-shaped salt flux under a sea ice lead and associated salt transport are investigated using a three-dimensional numerical model. The model is designed to represent a typical condition for ...
The Energetics of Global Thermohaline Circulation and Its Wind Enhancement
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The energy budget of global thermohaline circulation (THC) is numerically investigated using an ocean general circulation model (OGCM) under a realistic configuration. Earlier studies just discuss a globally integrated ...
