Antarctic Bottom Water Formation and Deep-Water Chlorofluorocarbon Distributions in a Global Ocean Climate Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The ocean distributions of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) have been measured extensively in order to determine the mechanisms, rates, and pathways associated with thermohaline deep-water formation. Model temperature, salinity, ...
Numerical Simulation of the North Atlantic Ocean at 1/10°
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper an initial analysis of an 0.1° simulation of the North Atlantic Ocean using a level-coordinate ocean general circulation model forced with realistic winds covering the period 1985?96 is presented. Results are ...
Emergence of Wind-Driven Near-Inertial Waves in the Deep Ocean Triggered by Small-Scale Eddy Vorticity Structures
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: sing numerical simulations forced by a uniform realistic wind time series, the authors show that the presence of a mesoscale eddy field at midlatitudes accelerates the vertical propagation of the wind-forced near-inertial ...
Response of a Strongly Eddying Global Ocean to North Atlantic Freshwater Perturbations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he strongly eddying version of the Parallel Ocean Program (POP) is used in two 45-yr simulations to investigate the response of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) to strongly enhanced freshwater input ...
Local Atmospheric Response to an Open-Ocean Polynya in a High-Resolution Climate Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n this paper the atmospheric response to an open-ocean polynya in the Southern Ocean is studied by analyzing the results from an atmospheric and oceanic synoptic-scale resolving Community Earth System Model (CESM) simulation. ...
Ocean Chlorofluorocarbon and Heat Uptake during the Twentieth Century in the CCSM3
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An ensemble of nine simulations for the climate of the twentieth century has been run using the Community Climate System Model version 3 (CCSM3). Three of these runs also simulate the uptake of chlorofluorocarbon-11 (CFC-11) ...
The Southern Ocean and Its Climate in CCSM4
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he new Community Climate System Model, version 4 (CCSM4), provides a powerful tool to understand and predict the earth?s climate system. Several aspects of the Southern Ocean in the CCSM4 are explored, including the surface ...
