The Response of an Idealized Ocean Basin to Variable Buoyancy Forcing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The response of an idealized ocean basin to variable buoyancy forcing is examined. A general circulation model that employs a Gent?McWilliams mixing parameterization is forced by a zonally constant restoring surface ...
Basinwide Integrated Volume Transports in an Eddy-Filled Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The temporal evolution of the strength of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) in the subtropical North Atlantic is affected by both remotely forced, basin-scale meridionally coherent, climate-relevant ...
Seasonal Variability of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation at 26.5°N
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) makes the strongest oceanic contribution to the meridional redistribution of heat. Here, an observation-based, 48-month-long time series of the vertical structure and ...
A New Index for the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation at 26°N
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) has received considerable attention, motivated by its major role in the global climate system. Observations of AMOC strength at 26°N made by the Rapid Climate Change ...
Continuous, Array-Based Estimates of Atlantic Ocean Heat Transport at 26.5°N
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ontinuous estimates of the oceanic meridional heat transport in the Atlantic are derived from the Rapid Climate Change?Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC) and Heatflux Array (RAPID?MOCHA) observing system deployed ...
