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 ...

Abstract: We have calculated normal modes with period between 8 and 80 h for a domain consisting of the Arctic, Atlantic, Indian and Pacific oceans. In this period range the numerical model has 56 modes, of which 13 are topographic ...

Abstract: A number of recent papers have argued that the mechanical energy budget of the ocean places constraints on how the thermohaline circulation is driven. These papers have been used to argue that climate models, which do not ...

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 ...

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, ...
