Increased Surface Ocean Heating by Colored Detrital Matter (CDM) Linked to Greater Northern Hemisphere Ice Formation in the GFDL CM2Mc ESM
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ecent observations of Arctic Ocean optical properties have found that colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) is of primary importance in determining the nonwater absorption coefficient of light in this region. Although ...
Transient Response of the Southern Ocean to Changing Ozone: Regional Responses and Physical Mechanisms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe impact of changing ozone on the climate of the Southern Ocean is evaluated using an ensemble of coupled climate model simulations. By imposing a step change from 1860 to 2000 conditions, response functions ...
Feedbacks Driving Interdecadal Variability in Southern Ocean Convection in Climate Models: A Coupled Oscillator Mechanism
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Numerous climate models display large-amplitude, long-period variability associated with quasiperiodic convection in the Southern Ocean, but the mechanisms responsible for producing such oscillatory convection are poorly ...
Bottom Topography Mapping via Nonlinear Data Assimilation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: variational data assimilation method is described for bottom topography mapping in rivers and estuaries using remotely sensed observations of water surface currents. The velocity field and bottom topography are related by ...
