RISClimatological Coastal Jet Collision, Intermediate Water Formation, and the General Circulation of the Red Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The authors present climatologies of a numerical model of the Red Sea, focusing on the dynamics of winter intermediate water formation. Northward flowing boundary currents are identified as the major dynamical elements. ...
An Unconditionally Stable Scheme for the Shallow Water Equations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A finite-difference scheme for solving the linear shallow water equations in a bounded domain is described. Its time step is not restricted by a Courant?Friedrichs?Levy (CFL) condition. The scheme, known as Israeli?Naik?Cane ...
Meridional Location of the Pacific Ocean Subtropical Gyre
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The observed subtropical gyre in the North Pacific shows a shift in meridional location with depth. At shallow levels the density deviation peaks at around 15°N while at deep levels the peak is more like 30°N. It is argued ...
How Can Tropical Pacific Ocean Heat Transport Vary?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Pacific Ocean oceanic heat transport is studied in an ocean model coupled to an atmospheric mixed-layer model. The shallow meridional overturning circulation cells in the Tropics and subtropics transport heat away from the ...
Wind-Driven Shifts in the Latitude of the Kuroshio–Oyashio Extension and Generation of SST Anomalies on Decadal Timescales
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The causes of decadal variations of North Pacific sea surface temperatures (SSTs) are examined using a hindcast performed with an ocean general circulation model thermodynamically coupled to an atmospheric mixed layer model ...
