RISThe Southern Ocean Thermohaline Circulation: A Numerical Model Sensitivity Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A two-dimensional primitive equation model is developed to study the thermohaline circulation of the Southern Ocean. The primary objectives are to identify those elements of the ocean climate model important for the ...
An Improved System for Tropical Ocean Subsurface Temperature Analyses
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study demonstrates techniques that lead to improved use of ocean thermal information and more useful and informative products for monitoring variability in the tropical oceans. The method is based on statistical ...
Combining Predictive Schemes in Long-Range Forecasting
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The linear combination of two statistical forecast schemes of a single observable provides, in the average, a more accurate prediction than the individual forecasts alone. This method is applied to long-range forecasting ...
A Comparison of Vertical Eddy Mixing Parameterizations for Equatorial Ocean Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The vertical eddy mixing formulations employed in the K-theory model of Pacanowski and Philander and in second-moment closure models are compared for an equatorial Pacific Ocean simulation. The Pacanowski and Philander ...
A Simple Topographic Model of Gulf Stream Separation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A simple, frictional, linear model is used to study the motion of the Gull Stream over the continental shelf. It is found that the combination of frictional and topographic effects may provide a further mechanism by which ...
Assimilation of Subsurface Thermal Data into a Simple Ocean Model for the Initialization of an Intermediate Tropical Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Forecast Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An adjoint variational assimilation technique is used to assimilate observations of both the oceanic state and wind stress data into an intermediate coupled ENSO prediction model. This method of initialization is contrasted ...
The BMRC Coupled General Circulation Model ENSO Forecast System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) prediction system with a coupled general circulation model and an ocean data assimilation scheme has been developed at the Australian Bureau of Meteorology Research Centre (BMRC). The ...
Evolution of a Sustained Ocean Observing System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) was initiated in the early 1990s with sponsorship by the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission, the International Council for Science, the United Nations Environment Programme, ...
An Ocean Observing System for Climate
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Designs and implementation are proceeding for a Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) and a Global Climate Observing System (GCOS). The initial design for the ocean component of the GCOS, which is also the climate module ...
