The Non-Linear Response of a Two-Layer, Baroclinic Ocean to a Stationary, Axially-Symmetric Hurricane. Part II. Upwelling and Mixing Induced by Momentum Transfer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper is a continuation of a theoretical description of upwelling and mixing induced in a stratified, rotating, two-layer ocean by momentum transfer from an intense, stationary, axially-symmetric atmospheric vortex. ...
Alternative Solutions to the Classical Vertical Velocity Problem
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The kinematic method for determining vertical velocity ? in pressure coordinates is reviewed. Alternative objective procedures are derived for obtaining ?, and an analytical solution to the pressure-differentiated continuity ...
The Non-Linear Response of a Two-Layer, Baroclinic Ocean to a Stationary, Axially-Symmetric Hurricane: Part I. Upwelling Induced by Momentum Transfer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study is concerned with the theoretical description of upwelling induced in a stratified, rotating, two-layer ocean by momentum transfer from an intense stationary, axially-symmetric atmospheric vortex. The dynamic ...
A Numerical Model of Coastal Upwelling
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A wind-driven model of coastal upwelling induced into a stratified, rotating ocean is solved numerically. The circulation is on an f plane and longshore variations are neglected. A multilevel model is derived, but only ...
On Upwelling Along a Zonally-Orientated Coastline
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A common observation in major coastal upwelling regions is a reversal of the mean longshore current with depth during active upwelling. A numerical model and a simple analytical model applied to a two-layer ocean on a ...
