Abstract: Using a set of models, including one with a resolution of ¼°, several aspects of the simulated seasonal currents in the deep ocean are considered. It is shown that over vast areas of the deep interior, particularly in the ...

Abstract: A climate model is used to study the climatic impact of the stress exerted on the ocean by the atmosphere. When this stress is set to zero everywhere, the climate becomes much colder, with global-mean near-surface air ...

Abstract: Results from eight ocean?atmosphere general circulation models are used to evaluate the influence of the projected changes in the oceanic stratification on the first baroclinic Rossby radius of deformation in the ocean, ...

Abstract: Observations indicate that intense mixing in the ocean is localized above complex topography and near the boundaries. Model experiments presented here illustrate that accounting for this fact can be important. In particular, ...

Abstract: he meridional ocean heat transport (MOHT), its seasonal variability, and projected changes simulated by the second generation Canadian Earth System Model (CanESM2) are presented. The global mean MOHT is within the uncertainty ...

Abstract: t has been estimated that much of the wind energy input to the ocean general circulation is removed by mesoscale eddies via baroclinic instability. While the fate of this energy remains a subject of research, arguments ...

Abstract: Global climate models indicate that the poleward shift of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current observed over recent decades may have been significantly human induced. The poleward shift, along with a significant increase in ...

Abstract: Four versions of the same global climate model, with horizontal resolution ranging from 1.8° ? 3.6° to 0.2° ? 0.4°, are employed to evaluate the resolution dependence of the Southern Ocean meridional overturning circulation. ...

Abstract: hanges in the Southern Ocean lower-limb overturning circulation are analyzed using a set of climate models. In agreement with some recently developed theoretical models, it is found that the overturning can be strongly ...

Abstract: he North Atlantic climate response to the catastrophic drainage of proglacial Lake Agassiz into the Labrador Sea is analyzed with coarse and ocean eddy-permitting versions of a global coupled climate model. The North ...
