RISNumerical Simulations of Stratified Rotating Flow over Finite Amplitude Topography
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A primitive equation numerical ocean model is used to investigate the response of an basic flow, initially horizontally and vertically uniform, to the presence of an isolated seamount at the center of a 4000-m-deep periodic ...
The Impact of Lateral Boundary Conditions and Horizontal Resolution on North Atlantic Water Mass Transformations and Pathways in an Isopycnic Coordinate Ocean Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A series of numerical experiments for the North Atlantic have been carried out with a primitive equation density-coordinate model, incorporating a relaxation zone south of 65°N designed to simulate the production of dense ...
Salinity-driven Thermocline Transients in a Wind- and Thermohaline-forced Isopycnic Coordinate Model of the North Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An isopycnic-coordinate oceanic circulation model formulated with the aim of simulating thermodynamically and mechanically driven flow in realistic basins is presented. Special emphasis is placed on the handling of diabatic ...
A Model Comparison: Numerical Simulations of the North and Equatorial Atlantic Oceanic Circulation in Depth and Isopycnic Coordinates
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A series of medium-resolution (?1°) numerical simulations for the equatorial and North Atlantic basin have been performed with two primitive equation models, one employing depth and the other density as the vertical ...
North Atlantic Simulations with the Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM): Impact of the Vertical Coordinate Choice, Reference Pressure, and Thermobaricity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The viability of a generalized (Hybrid) Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM), together with the importance of thermobaricity and the choice of reference pressure, is demonstrated by analyzing simulations carried out using the ...
