Large-Scale Dynamics of Circulations with Open-Ocean Convection
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ormation of the densest water masses in the North Atlantic and its marginal seas involves open-ocean convection. The main goal of this study is to contribute to the general understanding of how such convective regions ...
A Dynamical Model for the Leeuwin Undercurrent
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ecently, Furue et al. explored analytic solutions to a dynamical model for the Leeuwin Current system (LCS) off the coast of Western Australia. Their linear, variable density, two-layer model reduces to a one-layer system ...
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and the Cabbeling Effect
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: North Atlantic meridional density gradients have been identified as a main driver of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC). Due to the cabbeling effect, these density gradients are increasingly dominated ...
Evaluation of Thermosalinograph and VIIRS Data for the Characterization of Near-Surface Temperature Fields
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: etailed understanding of submesoscale processes and their role in global ocean circulation is constrained, in part, by the lack of global observational datasets of sufficiently high resolution. Here, the potential of ...
