Abstract: ecent work has shown that taking the thickness-weighted average (TWA) of the Boussinesq equations in buoyancy coordinates results in exact equations governing the prognostic residual mean flow where eddy?mean flow interactions ...

Abstract: well-studied example of natural climate variability is the impact of large freshwater input to the polar oceans, simulating glacial melt release or an amplification of the hydrological cycle. Such forcing can reduce, or ...

Abstract: scillatory behavior of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (MOC) is thought to underlie Atlantic multidecadal climate variability. While the energy sources and sinks driving the mean MOC have received intense ...

Abstract: he study of the mechanical energy budget of the oceans using the Lorenz available potential energy (APE) theory is based on knowledge of the adiabatically rearranged Lorenz reference state of minimum potential energy. The ...

Abstract: he exact, three-dimensional, thickness-weighted averaged (TWA) Boussinesq equations are used to diagnose eddy?mean flow interaction in an idealized circumpolar current (ICC). The force exerted by mesoscale eddies on the ...
