RISRole of Eddies in Chlorofluorocarbon Transport in Wind-Driven Oceanic Layers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this study the global distribution and transport of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in the oceans are investigated using a high-resolution numerical model. The authors focus on the effects of wind-driven processes such as ...
Midlatitude Baroclinic Rossby Waves in a High-Resolution OGCM Simulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The effects of background baroclinic zonal flow and bottom pressure decoupling on midlatitude oceanic Rossby wave dynamics using a high-resolution OGCM simulation are investigated. To examine these effects, the phase speed ...
Southward Eddy Heat Transport Occurring along Southern Flanks of the Kuroshio Extension and the Gulf Stream in a 1/10° Global Ocean General Circulation Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he present study investigates meridional heat transport induced by oceanic mesoscale variability in the World Ocean using a ° global ocean general circulation model (OGCM) running on the Earth Simulator. The results indicate ...
Seasonal Mesoscale and Submesoscale Eddy Variability along the North Pacific Subtropical Countercurrent
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ocated at the center of the western North Pacific Subtropical Gyre, the Subtropical Countercurrent (STCC) is not only abundant in mesoscale eddies, but also exhibits prominent submesoscale eddy features. Output from a ° ...
Decadal Variability of the Kuroshio Extension: Observations and an Eddy-Resolving Model Hindcast
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Low-frequency variability of the Kuroshio Extension (KE) is studied using observations and a multidecadal (1950?2003) hindcast by a high-resolution (0.1°), eddy-resolving, global ocean general circulation model for the ...
