RISEddy Acceleration and Decay Driven by Internal Tides
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Nonhydrostatic Wave Generation at Strained Fronts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: simple analytical model is developed to describe wave generation during frontogenesis forced by a horizontal strain field. In contrast to previous models, neither geostrophic nor hydrostatic balance is assumed. The generated ...
Curved Density Fronts: Cyclogeostrophic Adjustment and Frontogenesis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: urvature can play a significant role in the dynamics of density fronts at small scales and in low-latitude regions of the ocean. Fronts can be displaced from balance by rapid forcing and undergo an adjustment toward a more ...
An Analytical Model of the Response of the Meridional Overturning Circulation to Changes in Wind and Buoyancy Forcing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n analytical model of the full-depth ocean stratification and meridional overturning circulation for an idealized Atlantic basin with a circumpolar channel is presented. The model explicitly describes the ocean response ...
Spontaneous Wave Generation at Strongly Strained Density Fronts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: simple analytical model is presented describing the spontaneous generation of inertia?gravity waves at density fronts subjected to strong horizontal strain rates. The model considers fronts of arbitrary horizontal and ...
A New Mechanism for Mode Water Formation involving Cabbeling and Frontogenetic Strain at Thermohaline Fronts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: simple analytical model is used to elucidate a potential mechanism for steady-state mode water formation at a thermohaline front that involves frontogenesis, submesoscale lateral mixing, and cabbeling. This mechanism is ...
Spontaneous Surface Generation and Interior Amplification of Internal Waves in a Regional-Scale Ocean Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ecent theories, models, and observations have suggested the presence of significant spontaneous internal wave generation at density fronts near the ocean surface. Spontaneous generation is the emission of waves by unbalanced, ...
A New Mechanism for Mode Water Formation involving Cabbeling and Frontogenetic Strain at Thermohaline Fronts. Part II: Numerical simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ubmesoscale-resolving numerical simulations are used to investigate a mechanism for sustained mode water formation via cabbeling at thermohaline fronts subject to a confluent strain flow. The simulations serve to further ...
On the Momentum Flux of Internal Tides
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe action of the barotropic tide over seafloor topography is the major source of internal waves at the bottom of the ocean. This internal tide has long been recognized to play an important role in ocean mixing. ...
The Life Cycle of Spontaneously Generated Internal Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractRecent numerical modeling studies have suggested significant spontaneous internal wave generation near the ocean surface and energy transfers to and from these waves in the ocean interior. Spontaneous generation ...
