Abstract: A one-layer numerical model was developed to analyze the vorticity dynamics of the seasonal variations of currents in the Southern Ocean. The model includes the continental geometry and bathymetry of the Southern Ocean and ...

Abstract: A T?S volumetric census, with a resolution of 0.2°C and 0.1 psu, for years 20-25 of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment Community Modeling Effort eddy-resolving simulation of the equatorial and North Atlantic Ocean, ...

Abstract: A rotary Empirical Orthogonal Function analysis was performed on the current meter observations made dining DRAKE 79 to quantify current variability in central Drake Passage in the vicinity of the Polar Front. Two forms ...

Abstract: The WOCE Community Modeling Effort (CME) general circulation model of the North Atlantic was used to investigate the behavior, nature, and dynamics of 50-day oscillations seen in the meridional component of velocity between ...

Abstract: A rotary empirical orthogonal function analysis of the currents measured in central Drake Passage during DRAKE 79 shows that the deep (2500 m) flow has the same spatial and temporal structure as the flow at 500 m, suggesting ...

Abstract: It is impractical to create gridded numerical models of coastal circulation with sufficient resolution around small topographic features, such as submarine canyons, and still have the alongshore boundaries placed beyond ...

Abstract: ceanic exchanges across the continental shelves of Antarctica play an important role in biological systems and the mass balance of ice sheets. The focus of this study is on the mechanisms responsible for the circulation ...

Abstract: ircumpolar Deep Water (CDW) can be found near the continental shelf break around most of Antarctica. Advection of this relatively warm water (up to 2°C) across the continental shelf to the base of floating ice shelves is ...

Abstract: A linear, two-dimensional model of a rotating, stratified fluid is constructed to investigate the circulation induced by a moving, localized line of surface stress. This model is used to analyze the effect of moving cold ...

Abstract: The dynamical interaction of a narrow fjord with a wind-driven coastal regime is investigated using a linear, two-layer numerical model. The Coriolis acceleration is important in the coastal regime but assumed to he ...
