Abstract: he evolution and dispersion of intermediate water masses in the ocean interior is studied. To this purpose an empirical statistical model of Lagrangian tracers at a constant depth level is developed. The model follows the ...

Abstract: The question of the generation of millennial oscillations by internal ocean dynamics is studied through deliberate use of the simplest geometry and surface forcing, namely a hemispheric ocean with time-independent mixed ...

Abstract: his study demonstrates that oceanic vertical velocities can be estimated from individual mooring measurements, even for nonstationary flow. This result is obtained under three assumptions: (i) weak diffusion (Péclet number ...
