RISA General Theory for Equivalent Barotropic Thin Jets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The so-called thin-jet approximation, in which variations along the jet axis are assumed gradual in comparison with variations normal to the axis, allows the calculations of along- and cross-axis structures to be decoupled. ...
Wind-Driven Currents in the Tropical Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An analysis is made of the ensemble mean ageostrophic near-surface circulation measured by 1503 Lagrangian drifters drogued to 15-m depth in the tropical Pacific between 1987 and 1994. It was found that the physical model ...
Prognostic Modeling Studies of the Keweenaw Current in Lake Superior. Part I: Formation and Evolution
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The formation and evolution of the Keweenaw Current in Lake Superior were examined using a nonorthogonal-coordinate primitive equation numerical model. The model was initialized by the monthly averaged temperaturefield ...
A Lagrangian Description of the Western Equatorial Pacific Response to the Wind Burst of December 1992: Heat Advection in the Warm Pool
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the Tropical Oceans Global Atmosphere (TOGA) Coupled Ocean?Atmosphere Response Experiment (COARE) intensive observing period (IOP), sustained westerly winds were observed between 20 December 1992 and 10 January 1993 ...
