Description and Vorticity Analysis of 50-Day Oscillations in the Western Tropical Region of the CME Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The WOCE Community Modeling Effort (CME) general circulation model of the North Atlantic was used to investigate the behavior, nature, and dynamics of 50-day oscillations seen in the meridional component of velocity between ...
Thermohaline Stratification of the Indonesian Seas: Model and Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Indonesian Throughflow, weaving through complex topography, drawing water from near the division of the North Pacific and South Pacific water mass fields, represents a severe challenge to modeling efforts. Thermohaline ...
Full vorticity budget of the Arabian Sea from a 0.1° ocean model: Sverdrup dynamics, Rossby waves and nonlinear eddy effects
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Isopycnal Eddy Diffusivities and Critical Layers in the Kuroshio Extension from an Eddying Ocean Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: igh spatial resolution isopycnal diffusivities are estimated in the Kuroshio Extension (KE) region (28°?40°N, 120°?190°E) from a global ° Parallel Ocean Program (POP) simulation. The numerical float tracks are binned using ...
Reconstructing the Ocean's Interior from Surface Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: new method is proposed for extrapolating subsurface velocity and density fields from sea surface density and sea surface height (SSH). In this, the surface density is linked to the subsurface fields via the surface ...
Near-Surface Eddy Heat and Momentum Fluxes in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current in Drake Passage
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he authors present new estimates of the eddy momentum and heat fluxes from repeated high-resolution upper-ocean velocity and temperature observations in Drake Passage and interpret their role in the regional Antarctic ...
A Multiwavenumber Theory for Eddy Diffusivities and Its Application to the Southeast Pacific (DIMES) Region
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: multiwavenumber theory is formulated to represent eddy diffusivities. It expands on earlier single-wavenumber theories and includes the wide range of wavenumbers encompassed in eddy motions. In the limiting case in which ...
Eulerian and Lagrangian Statistics from Surface Drifters and a High-Resolution POP Simulation in the North Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Eulerian and Lagrangian statistics were calculated from the North Atlantic surface drifter dataset for the years 1993?97 and a high-resolution eddy-resolving configuration of the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) ...
Eulerian and Lagrangian Statistics from Surface Drifters and a High-Resolution POP Simulation in the North Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Eulerian and Lagrangian statistics were calculated from the North Atlantic surface drifter dataset for the years 1993?97 and a high-resolution eddy-resolving configuration of the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) ...
The Large-Scale Vorticity Balance of the Antarctic Continental Margin in a Fine-Resolution Global Simulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The depth-integrated vorticity budget of a global, eddy-permitting ocean/sea ice simulation over the Antarctic continental margin (ACM) is diagnosed to understand the physical mechanisms implicated in meridional transport. ...
