Abstract: The sensitivity of the global ocean circulation to changes in surface heat flux forcing is studied using the Hamburg Large Scale Geostrophic (LSG) ocean circulation model. The simulated mean ocean circulation for appropriately ...

Abstract: Munk and Forbes have proposed to detect greenhouse gas-induced climate changes in the World Ocean with an array of long-range acoustic transmissions from Heard Island in the southern Indian Ocean. We estimated?assuming a ...

Abstract: A primitive equation World Ocean model has been integrated with restoring boundary conditions to reach a steady state. The global distribution of potential temperature, salinity, and meridional streamfunction are consistent ...

Abstract: To study the dynamics that may lead to decadal oscillations in the North Pacific a simple coupled model is developed. The ocean is based on the linear, potential vorticity equation for baroclinic planetary waves. The ...

Abstract: The influence of phytoplankton on the seasonal cycle and the mean global climate is investigated in a fully coupled climate model. The control experiment uses a fixed attenuation depth for shortwave radiation, while the ...

Abstract: his paper presents an estimate of the oceanic Lorenz energy cycle derived from a simulation forced by 6-hourly fluxes obtained from NCEP?NCAR reanalysis-1. The total rate of energy generation amounts to 6.6 TW, of which ...
