Abstract: ddy-permitting simulations are used to show that basinlike gyres can be observed in the large-scale barotropic flow of a wind-driven channel with a meridional topographic ridge. This is confirmed using both two-layer ...

Abstract: The idea that basinlike dynamics may play a major role in determining the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) transport is revisited. A simple analytic model is developed to describe the relationship between the wind stress ...

Abstract: ddy-permitting simulations of a wind-driven quasigeostrophic model in an idealized Southern Ocean setting are used to attempt to describe what sets the wind-driven circumpolar transport of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current ...

Abstract: he interaction between an Antarctic Circumpolar Current?like channel flow and a continental shelf break is considered using eddy-permitting simulations of a quasigeostrophic and a primitive equation model. The experimental ...

Abstract: he deep-ocean circulation and stratification have likely undergone major changes during past climates, which may have played an important role in the modulation of atmospheric CO2 concentrations. The mechanisms by which ...

Abstract: A toy model for the deep ocean overturning circulation in multiple basins is presented and applied to study the role of buoyancy forcing and basin geometry in the ocean’s global overturning. The model reproduces the results ...

Abstract: AbstractChanges in deep-ocean circulation and stratification have been argued to contribute to climatic shifts between glacial and interglacial climates by affecting the atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations. It has ...

Abstract: AbstractA simple model for the deep-ocean overturning circulation is presented and applied to study the ocean?s response to a sudden surface warming. The model combines one-dimensional predictive residual advection?diffusion ...
