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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
