Abstract: The effect of reducing the barotropic gravity wave speed in a layered ocean model in order to gain computational speed is explored. In theory the error in the propagation of baroclinic gravity waves typically is less than ...

Abstract: The gravity wave retardation (GWR) method is a simple technique that allows layer models to include bottom topography. Here the method is applied, and its accuracy is evaluated, for monthly climatological wind forcing in ...

Abstract: Composites of Florida State University winds (1970?99) for four different climate scenarios are used to force an Indian Ocean model. In addition to the mean climatology, the cases include La Niña, El Niño, and the Indian ...

Abstract: A Lagrangian numerical model is used to simulate upwelling in an idealized large lake. This simulation is carried out to test the model's potential for simulating lake and ocean circulations. The model is based on the ...

Abstract: imulation of surface wind and upper-ocean variability associated with the Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO) by a regional coupled model, the Coupled Ocean?Atmosphere Mesoscale Prediction System (COAMPS), is evaluated by the ...

Abstract: AbstractThe atmospheric response to sea surface temperature (SST) variations forced by oceanic downwelling equatorial Rossby waves is investigated using an idealized convection-resolving model. Downwelling equatorial Rossby ...

Abstract: he possibility of teleconnections between Southern Ocean swells and sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies on interannual time scales in the eastern Pacific Niño-3 region and southeastern Indian Ocean is investigated using ...
