Low-Mode Internal Tide Propagation in a Turbulent Eddy Field
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: nderstanding and predicting how internal tides distort and lose coherence as they propagate through the ocean has been identified as a key issue for interpreting data from the upcoming wide-swath altimeter mission Surface ...
Tracer Stirring around a Meddy: The Formation of Layering
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he dynamics of the formation of layering surrounding meddy-like vortex lenses is investigated using primitive equation (PE), quasigeostrophic (QG), and tracer advection models. Recent in situ data inside a meddy confirmed ...
Upper Ocean Turbulence from High-Resolution 3D Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The authors examine the turbulent properties of a baroclinically unstable oceanic flow using primitive equation (PE) simulations with high resolution (in both horizontal and vertical directions). Resulting dynamics in the ...
Emergence of Wind-Driven Near-Inertial Waves in the Deep Ocean Triggered by Small-Scale Eddy Vorticity Structures
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: sing numerical simulations forced by a uniform realistic wind time series, the authors show that the presence of a mesoscale eddy field at midlatitudes accelerates the vertical propagation of the wind-forced near-inertial ...
Intra-Annual Rossby Waves Destabilization as a Potential Driver of Low-Latitude Zonal Jets: Barotropic Dynamics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
