Unstable Frontal Waves along the Kuroshio Extension with Low-Potential Vorticity Intermediate Oyashio Water
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A linear stability analysis was conducted for a three-layer primitive equation model including viscosity with a basic state, which modeled the stratification and velocity fields with the vertical and horizontal variations ...
Spiciness Anomalies in the Upper South Indian Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThis study investigates an isopycnal temperature/salinity T/S, or spiciness, anomaly in the upper south Indian Ocean for the period from 2004 to 2015 using observations and reanalyses. Spiciness anomalies at about ...
Three-Dimensional Structure of Frontal Waves and Associated Salinity Minimum Formation along the Kuroshio Extension
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: High-resolution hydrographic observations were conducted in September 2002 to describe the detailed structure of frontal waves along the Kuroshio Extension. Frontal waves were observed both in the upper and intermediate ...
Formation and Subduction of Central Mode Water Based on Profiling Float Data, 2003–08
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Temperature and salinity data from Argo profiling floats in the North Pacific during 2003?08 have been analyzed to study the structure of winter mixed layer north of the Kuroshio Extension and the subsurface potential ...
