Wind Forcing of the Atlantic Thermocline along 32°N at Low Frequencies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Bermuda tide gauge record extends back to the early 1930s. That sea level fluctuations there are highly coherent with dynamic height from hydrographic data has two interesting implications. First, it should contain ...
Gulf Stream Transport Variability at Periods of Decades
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Variability of sea level on the offshore side of the Gulf Stream has been estimated with a wind-forced numerical model. The difference in sea level between the model and coastal tide gauges therefore provides an estimate ...
Sea Level on the U.S. East Coast: Decadal Variability Caused by Open Ocean Wind-Curl Forcing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: One of the puzzling features of sea level on the east coast of the United States is the decedal-scale variability;the fluctuations are 10?15 cm, peak to peak, at periods longer than a few years. The authors find that this ...
Decadal Wind Forcing of the North Atlantic Subtropical Gyre
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In the central North Atlantic Ocean there are large decadal-scale fluctuations of sea level and of the depth of the thermocline. This variability can be explained by low-frequency Rossby waves forced by wind. The authors ...
