Abstract: A three-dimensional, primitive equation model is applied to the ocean mesoscale eddies and unstable baroclinic waves across a density front in a channel under a very low viscosity environment. Current meanders are well ...

Abstract: Numerical finite-difference schemes of time integration in widely used ocean general circulation models are systematically examined to ensure the correct and accurate discretization of the Coriolis terms. Two groups of ...

Abstract: Observational and modeling studies have indicated recent large changes of sea ice and hydrographic properties in the Arctic Ocean. However, the observational database is sufficiently sparse that the mechanisms responsible ...

Abstract: The relationship between extreme anomalies of the spring sea ice extent over the Bering Sea and the Sea of Okhotsk and rainfall variability in the east Asian summer monsoon was examined through an analysis of observed data ...

Abstract: Arctic cyclone activity is investigated in the context of climate change and variability by using a modified automated cyclone identification and tracking algorithm, which differs from previously used algorithms by single ...
