Abstract: arameterization of mesoscale eddies is an important problem of modern ocean dynamics and modeling. The most widely used scheme is the so-called Gent?McWilliams parameterization, which describes the eddy-induced transport ...

Abstract: ntegral constraints for momentum and energy impose restrictions on parameterizations of eddy potential vorticity (PV) fluxes. The impact of these constraints is studied for a wind-forced quasigeostrophic two-layer zonal ...

Abstract: An energy analysis of the Fine Resolution Antarctic Model (FRAM) reveals the instability processes in the model. The main source of time-mean kinetic energy is the wind stress and the main sink is transfer to mean potential ...

Abstract: AbstractThe question of whether the coefficient of diffusivity of potential vorticity by mesoscale eddies is positive is studied for a zonally reentrant barotropic channel using the quasigeostrophic approach. The topography ...

Abstract: n integral constraint for eddy fluxes of potential vorticity (PV), corresponding to global momentum conservation, is applied to two-layer zonal quasigeostrophic channel flow. This constraint must be satisfied for any type ...

Abstract: The dynamics of the Southern Ocean have been studied using two high-resolution models, namely the Fine Resolution Antarctic Model (FRAM) and the Parallel Ocean Program (POP) model. Analysis of these models includes zonal ...
