Recent Decadal Variation in the California Current System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A study has been made to identify the existence of different decadal climatic regimes before and after the anomalous environmental changes that occurred in 1958. Atmospheric and oceanographic data in the California Current ...
The Thermal Current in Lake Michigan
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A theoretical and observational study is made of the thermally induced circulation in Lake Michigan. The temperature and the velocity field are obtained by solving the coupled equations of motion and the energy equation ...
Numerical Simulation Studies for Oceanic Anomalies in the North Pacific Basin: II. Seasonally Varying Motions and Structures
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Seasonally varying currents and structures in the North Pacific Ocean are simulated by a baroclinic ocean model. The model has satisfactorily reproduced the gross nature of current systems and density fields as well as ...
Response of the NCAR General Circulation Model to North Pacific Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The general circulation model (GCM) of the National Center for Atmospheric Research was used to investigate the effects of anomalous sea surface temperature (SST) patterns in the mid-latitudes of the North Pacific Ocean ...
Simulation and Verification of Lake Ontario's Mean State
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A numerical dynamic model based on primitive equations has been developed for Lake Ontario. Many experimental tests for parameter selections and alternative formulations of physical processes in the model were carried out. ...
Vortex Modes in Southern Lake Michigan
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Current velocities and water temperatures were observed in southern Lake Michigan with an array of AMF vector-averaging current meters during late spring, summer and fall 1976. Analyses of the recorded current data have ...
