RISAbyssal Ocean Warming and Salinification after Weddell Polynyas in the GFDL CM2G Coupled Climate Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he role of Weddell Sea polynyas in establishing deep-ocean properties is explored in the NOAA Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory?s (GFDL) coupled climate model CM2G. Using statistical composite analysis of over 30 polynya ...
Role of the Seasonal Cycle in the Subduction Rates of Upper–Southern Ocean Waters
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: kinematic approach is used to diagnose the subduction rates of upper?Southern Ocean waters across seasonally migrating density outcrops at the base of the mixed layer. From an Eulerian viewpoint, the term representing the ...
Connecting Changing Ocean Circulation with Changing Climate
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he influence of changing ocean currents on climate change is evaluated by comparing an earth system model?s response to increased CO2 with and without an ocean circulation response. Inhibiting the ocean circulation response, ...
Response of the Ocean Natural Carbon Storage to Projected Twenty-First-Century Climate Change
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he separate impacts of wind stress, buoyancy fluxes, and CO2 solubility on the oceanic storage of natural carbon are assessed in an ensemble of twentieth- to twenty-first-century simulations, using a coupled atmosphere?o ...
Water Mass Exchange in the Southern Ocean in Coupled Climate Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he authors estimate water mass transformation rates resulting from surface buoyancy fluxes and interior diapycnal fluxes in the region south of 30°S in the Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean (ECCO) model-based ...
Mechanisms of Southern Ocean Heat Uptake and Transport in a Global Eddying Climate Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Southern Ocean plays a dominant role in anthropogenic oceanic heat uptake. Strong northward transport of the heat content anomaly limits warming of the sea surface temperature in the uptake region and allows the heat ...
Dominance of the Southern Ocean in Anthropogenic Carbon and Heat Uptake in CMIP5 Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he authors assess the uptake, transport, and storage of oceanic anthropogenic carbon and heat over the period 1861?2005 in a new set of coupled carbon?climate Earth system models conducted for the fifth phase of the Coupled ...
Role of Mesoscale Eddies in Cross-Frontal Transport of Heat and Biogeochemical Tracers in the Southern Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study examines the role of processes transporting tracers across the Polar Front (PF) in the depth interval between the surface and major topographic sills, which this study refers to as the ?PF core.? A preindustrial ...
Climate Variability and Radiocarbon in the CM2Mc Earth System Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he distribution of radiocarbon (14C) in the ocean and atmosphere has fluctuated on time scales ranging from seasons to millennia. It is thought that these fluctuations partly reflect variability in the climate system, ...
