Reconstructing the Meridional Overturning Circulation from Boundary Densities and the Zonal Wind Stress
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Numerical models are used to test whether the meridional overturning circulation (MOC) can be reconstructed from boundary densities and the wind stress. In idealized model setups without topography the strength as well as ...
Past, Present, and Future Changes in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ons and numerical modeling experiments provide evidence for links between variability in the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) and global climate patterns. Reduction in the strength of the overturning ...
The Response of an Idealized Ocean Basin to Variable Buoyancy Forcing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The response of an idealized ocean basin to variable buoyancy forcing is examined. A general circulation model that employs a Gent?McWilliams mixing parameterization is forced by a zonally constant restoring surface ...
Ocean Circulation and Tropical Variability in the Coupled Model ECHAM5/MPI-OM
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper describes the mean ocean circulation and the tropical variability simulated by the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (MPI-M) coupled atmosphere?ocean general circulation model (AOGCM). Results are presented ...
Toward a New Generation of World Climate Research and Computing Facilities
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ding threat of global climate change and its regional manifestations is among the most important and urgent problems facing humanity. Society needs accurate and reliable estimates of changes in the probability of regional ...
Seasonal Variability of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation at 26.5°N
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) makes the strongest oceanic contribution to the meridional redistribution of heat. Here, an observation-based, 48-month-long time series of the vertical structure and ...
Continuous, Array-Based Estimates of Atlantic Ocean Heat Transport at 26.5°N
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ontinuous estimates of the oceanic meridional heat transport in the Atlantic are derived from the Rapid Climate Change?Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC) and Heatflux Array (RAPID?MOCHA) observing system deployed ...
