RISIntraseasonal Modulation of the Surface Cooling in the Gulf of Guinea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: regional numerical model of the tropical Atlantic Ocean and observations are analyzed to investigate the intraseasonal fluctuations of the sea surface temperature at the equator in the Gulf of Guinea. Results indicate that ...
Causes of Interannual–Decadal Variability in the Meridional Overturning Circulation of the Midlatitude North Atlantic Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The causes and characteristics of interannual?decadal variability of the meridional overturning circulation (MOC) in the North Atlantic are investigated with a suite of basin-scale ocean models [the Family of Linked Atlantic ...
Thermocline Circulation in the Solomon Sea: A Modeling Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In the southwest Pacific, thermocline waters connecting the tropics to the equator via western boundary currents (WBCs) transit through the Solomon Sea. Despite its importance in feeding the Equatorial Undercurrent (EUC) ...
Seasonal and Interannual Modulation of the Eddy Kinetic Energy in the Caribbean Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ariability of the mesoscale eddy field in the Caribbean Sea is analyzed over the period 1993?2009 using geostrophic anomalies derived from altimeter data and a high-resolution regional model. The Colombia Basin presents ...
Intrinsic Variability of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation at Interannual-to-Multidecadal Time Scales
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he low-frequency variability of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) is investigated from 2, ¼°, and ° global ocean?sea ice simulations, with a specific focus on its internally generated (i.e., ?intrinsic?) ...
Seasonal Modes of Surface Cooling in the Gulf of Guinea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: numerical simulation of the tropical Atlantic Ocean indicates that surface cooling in upwelling zones of the Gulf of Guinea is mostly due to vertical mixing. At the seasonal scale, the spatial structure and the time ...
Mesoscale Eddies in the Labrador Sea and Their Contribution to Convection and Restratification
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The cycle of open ocean deep convection in the Labrador Sea is studied in a realistic, high-resolution (4 km) regional model, embedded in a coarser (?°) North Atlantic setup. This configuration allows the simultaneous ...
Water Mass Transformation in the North Atlantic and Its Impact on the Meridional Circulation: Insights from an Ocean Model Forced by NCEP–NCAR Reanalysis Surface Fluxes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Decadal-scale climate variability in the North Atlantic thermohaline circulation is simulated using a sigma-coordinate primitive equation model, forced by NCEP?NCAR reanalysis surface forcing fields for the period from ...
Intrinsic Variability of Sea Level from Global Ocean Simulations: Spatiotemporal Scales
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n high-resolution ocean general circulation models (OGCMs), as in process-oriented models, a substantial amount of interannual to decadal variability is generated spontaneously by oceanic nonlinearities: that is, without ...
Inverse Cascades of Kinetic Energy as a Source of Intrinsic Variability: A Global OGCM Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractA seasonally forced 1/12° global ocean/sea ice simulation is used to characterize the spatiotemporal inverse cascade of kinetic energy (KE). Nonlinear scale interactions associated with relative vorticity advection ...
