ACC Meanders, Energy Transfer and Mixed Barotropic-Baroclinic Instability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: long-stream variations in the dynamics of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) impact heat and tracer transport, regulate inter-basin exchange and influence closure of the overturning circulation. Topography is primarily ...
Open-Ocean Submesoscale Motions: A Full Seasonal Cycle of Mixed Layer Instabilities from Gliders
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he importance of submesoscale instabilities, particularly mixed layer baroclinic instability and symmetric instability, on upper-ocean mixing and energetics is well documented in regions of strong, persistent fronts such ...
