A Note on the Criteria for the Onset of Stationary Parallel-Plate Convection Subject to Mean Vertical Motion
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Benard problem is extended to include the effects of perfectly conducting, but porous, boundaries permitting an average vertical mass flux, characterized by a Peclet number, through the system. The linear stability ...
Seasonal Barotropic Modulation of the Deep-Water Overflow through the Faroe Bank Channel
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: As a joint Nordic project, an upward-looking ADCP has been maintained at the sill of the Faroe Bank Channel from 1995 onward. Records from a period in 1998 with three current meters deployed across the channel were used ...
Observations of Transport Variability in the Baltic Sea by Parasitic Use of a Fiber-Optic Cable
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Transports between the Swedish mainland and the island of Gotland were studied by means of motionally induced voltages. The copper mantle of an existent fiber-optic telecommunications cable was grounded on Gotland, and the ...
Delayed Albedo Effects in a Zero-Dimensional Climate Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A globally averaged radiative energy-balance model incorporating a time-delayed albedo has been investigated. The parameterization of the albedo in terms of the average global temperature is furthermore not monotonic since ...
Potential-Vorticity Characteristics of the Faroe Bank Channel Deep-Water Overflow
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Results from a 71-day deployment of three ADCP current meters on a section across the sill region of the Faroe Bank Channel are reported. The characteristic density structure of the channel, with warm, highly saline North ...
Comments on “Is the Faroe Bank Channel Overflow Hydraulically Controlled?”
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In a recent paper Girton et al., due to what appears to be a misunderstanding, stated that a critical-flow analysis of the deep-water transport through the Faroe Bank Channel had been undertaken by Lake et al. on the basis ...
On the Intermediate Water Masses of the Faroe–Bank Channel Overflow
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A review of available hydrographic data from the Faroe?Bank Channel indicates that North Icelandic/Arctic Intermediate water masses are present in the passage to a larger extent than was previously believed. The presently ...
Field Tests of a New Type of Graphite-Fiber Electrode for Measuring Motionally Induced Voltages
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: On the basis of a field experiment in a tidal channel, comparisons have been undertaken between a new type of graphite-fiber electrode and conventional Ag/AgCl sensors for measurements of motionally induced voltages. The ...
