RISLoop Current and Deep Eddies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In contrast to the Loop Current and rings, much less is known about deep eddies (deeper than 1000 m) of the Gulf of Mexico. In this paper, results from a high-resolution numerical model of the Gulf are analyzed to explain ...
Coupled Response of the Trade Wind, SST Gradient, and SST in the Caribbean Sea, and the Potential Impact on Loop Current's Interannual Variability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ir?sea coupling in the IntraAmerican seas (IAS; Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico) is studied through analyses of observational data from satellite, reanalysis products, and in situ measurements. A strong coupling is found ...
Instability of the North Pacific Subtropical Countercurrent
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he North Pacific Subtropical Countercurrent (STCC) has a weak eastward velocity near the surface, but the region is populated with eddies. Studies have shown that the STCC is baroclinically unstable with a peak growth rate ...
Loop Current Growth and Eddy Shedding Using Models and Observations: Numerical Process Experiments and Satellite Altimetry Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ecent studies on Loop Current?s variability in the Gulf of Mexico suggest that the system may behave with some regularity forced by the biannually varying trade winds. The process is analyzed here using a reduced-gravity ...

The Philippines–Taiwan Oscillation: Monsoonlike Interannual Oscillation of the Subtropical–Tropical Western North Pacific Wind System and Its Impact on the Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ide gauge and satellite data reveal an interannual oscillation of the ocean?s thermoclines east of the Philippines and Taiwan, forced by a corresponding oscillation in the wind stress curl. This so-called Philippines?Taiwan ...
Deep Eddy Energy and Topographic Rossby Waves in the Gulf of Mexico
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations suggest the hypothesis that deep eddy kinetic energy (EKE) in the Gulf of Mexico can be accounted for by topographic Rossby waves (TRWs). It is presumed that the TRWs are forced by Loop Current (LC) pulsation, ...
Eddy and Wind-Forced Heat Transports in the Gulf of Mexico
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Gulf of Mexico (GOM) receives heat from the Caribbean Sea via the Yucatan?Loop Current (LC) system, and the corresponding ocean heat content (OHC) is important to weather and climate of the continental United States. ...
Why Can Wind Delay the Shedding of Loop Current Eddies?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: It is first shown that wind in the Gulf of Mexico can delay the shedding of Loop Current eddies. A time-dependent, three-dimensional numerical experiment forced by a spatially and temporally constant westward wind stress ...
Loop Current Cycle: Coupled Response of the Loop Current with Deep Flows
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Although the upper-layer dynamics of the Loop Current and eddies in the Gulf of Mexico are well studied, the understanding of how they are coupled to the deep flows is limited. In this work, results from a numerical model ...
