The Impact of Surface Flux Parameterizations on the Modeling of the North Atlantic Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The response of an ocean general circulation model to several distinct parameterizations of the surface heat and freshwater fluxes, which differ primarily by their representation of the ocean?atmosphere feedbacks, is ...
North Atlantic Modeling of Low-Frequency Variability in Mode Water Formation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The generation of interannual and near-decadal variability in the formation of mode waters in the western North Atlantic is investigated in the realistic framework of an isopycnic coordinate ocean model forced with atmospheric ...
North Atlantic Modeling of Low-Frequency Variability in Mode Water Formation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The generation of interannual and near-decadal variability in the formation of mode waters in the western North Atlantic is investigated in the realistic framework of an isopycnic coordinate ocean model forced with atmospheric ...
Impact of Wind Forcing, Bottom Topography, and Inertia on Midlatitude Jet Separation in a Quasigeostrophic Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The persistence of unrealistic Gulf Stream separation in numerical models of the ocean has prompted many theories about possible mechanisms that influence the separation of a western boundary current from the coast. In ...
Energy Flux to a Cyclonic Eddy off Cabo Frio, Brazil
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: To evaluate the energy flux from the mean flow of South Atlantic western boundary currents toward typical Cabo Frio eddies (at Brazilian southeast coast), the southwestern Atlantic circulation was simulated with the Princeton ...
