Adjoint-Based Estimation of Eddy-Induced Tracer Mixing Parameters in the Global Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: sing the German Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean (GECCO) synthesis framework, four separate eddy tracer mixing coefficients are adjusted jointly with external forcing fields, such as to reduce a global ...
On the Formation of a Subsurface Weakly Sheared Laminar Layer and an Upper Thermocline Strongly Sheared Turbulent Layer in the Eastern Equatorial Pacific: Interplays of Multiple-Time-Scale Equatorial Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The origins of an observed weakly sheared nonturbulent (laminar) layer (WSL), and a strongly sheared turbulent layer above the Equatorial Undercurrent core (UCL) in the eastern equatorial Pacific are studied, based mainly ...
The Adjoint-Based Favorable Winds for the Generation of the Central Pacific El Niño
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Anomalous Upper-Ocean Circulation of the Western Equatorial Pacific following El Niño Events
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Mooring measurements at ~140°E in the western equatorial Pacific documented greatly intensified eastward subsurface currents, which largely represents the nascent Equatorial Undercurrent (EUC), to ~67 cm s−1 in boreal ...
