Abstract: he impact of open oceanic processes on the Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) outflows is investigated using a numerical model with a focus on outflows that occur through deep channels. A major branch of the AABW outflow is ...

Abstract: Diagnostics performed with twentieth-century (1861?2000) ensemble integrations of the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory Climate Model, version 2.1 (CM2.1) suggest that, during the developing phase, El Niño events that ...

Abstract: Marginal sea overflows and the overlying upper ocean are coupled in the vertical by two distinct mechanisms?by an interfacial mass flux from the upper ocean to the overflow layer that accompanies entrainment and by a ...

Abstract: The oceanic response to overflows is explored using a two-layer isopycnal model. Overflows enter the open ocean as dense gravity currents that flow along and down the continental slope. While descending the slope, overflows ...

Abstract: he mechanism responsible for the annual cycle of the flow through the straits of the Japan Sea is investigated using a two-layer model. Observations show maximum throughflow from summer to fall and minimum in winter, ...

Abstract: egional sea level trend and variability in the Pacific Ocean have often been considered to be induced by low-frequency surface wind changes. This study demonstrates that significant sea level trend and variability can also ...
