RISModeling 18° Water Variability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Variability of 18° Water formation is investigated with an isopycnic-coordinate model of the North Atlantic. A 30-year spinup integration is used as a ?control? experiment in which the upper water column in the Sargasso ...
An Intercomparison of a Bryan–Cox-Type Ocean Model and an Isopycnic Ocean Model. Part I: The Subpolar Gyre and High-Latitude Processes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper describes a model intercomparison between a Bryan-Cox-type ocean model and an isopycnic-coordinate ocean model. The two models are integrated for 30 years on a domain of the North Atlantic stretching from 20°S ...
An Intercomparison of a Bryan-Cox-Type Ocean Model and an Isopycnic Ocean Model. Part II: The Subtropical Gyre and Meridional Heat Transport
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In a companion paper, two ocean general circulation models were implemented in order to simulate and intercompare the main features of the North Atlantic circulation: the Atlantic Isopycnic Model (AIM) and the Hadley Centre ...
Water Mass Transformation in the Southern Ocean of a Global Isopycnal Coordinate GCM
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A global isopycnal coordinate GCM is used to investigate the processes that drive the meridional circulation, transformation, and interocean exchange of water masses in the Southern Ocean. The noneddy-resolving model (mesh ...
