Abstract: The intrusion of western boundary currents (WBC) across the wind-driven gyre boundary and associated cross-gyre transport are examined using layered numerical models with realistic topography and annual mean wind stress, ...

Abstract: Seasonal variations of the Oyashio near the east coast of Japan are examined using a simple layered model with a localized diapycnal transport due to the strong tidal mixing around the Kuril Islands. The modeled southernmost ...

Abstract: tmospheric responses and feedback to meridional ocean heat transport (OHT) have been investigated using a global climate model that is interactively connected with a high-resolution regional ocean model embedded in the ...

Abstract: AbstractThe ocean?atmosphere feedback associated with the thermodynamic coupling among wind speed, evaporation, and sea surface temperature (SST), called the wind?evaporation?SST (WES) feedback, contributes to the ...

Abstract: iapycnal mixing induced by tide?topography interaction, one of the essential factors maintaining the global ocean circulation and hence the global climate, is modulated by the 18.6-yr period oscillation of the lunar orbital ...

Abstract: elayed negative feedback processes determining intrinsic decadal and bidecadal time scales for the tropical variability in the Pacific are investigated based on climate model experiments. By comparing a control run driven ...
