RISOn the Properties of the Free Double Kelvin Wave in a Viscous and Diffusive Fluid
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The modifications to the structure and propagation characteristics of the double Kelvin wave due to various parameterizations of dissipative effects; namely, a lateral eddy viscosity and diffusion with coefficients AM, AH, ...
On Stratified Flow over a Ridge Intersecting Coastlines
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The adjustment between two interconnecting basins of stratified fluid, resulting from the formation of a pool of dense water in one, is investigated with an 18-level numerical general circulation model (CYCM). It is found ...
A Relationship between Interannual Variations in the South Pacific Wind Stress Curl, the Indonesian Throughflow, and the West Pacific Warm Water Pool
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Simple theory gives that the depth-integrated flow between the Pacific and Indian Oceans, on interannual timescales and longer, is driven by the integral of the wind stress along a line from the northern tip of Papua?New ...
The Circulation of the Depth-integrated Flow around an Island with Application to the Indonesian Throughflow
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Godfrey's Island Rule is rederived in terms of the barotrapic streamfunction for flow in a stratified ocean with a rigid lid. Modifications to include bottom topography and frictional effects along eastern boundaries are ...
The Response of the Indo–Pacific Throughflow to Interannual Variations in the Pacific Wind Stress. Part II: Realistic Geometry and ECMWF Wind Stress Anomalies for 1985–89
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The effect of interannual variability in wind stress on the transport between the Pacific and Indian Oceans through the Indonesian archipelago is investigated using a multilevel, numerical, general circulation model (GCM). ...
The Response of the Indo-Pacific Throughflow to Interannual Variations in the Pacific Wind Stress. Part I: Idealized Geometry and Variations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The effect of interannual variations in the Pacific wind stress on the barotropic and baroclinic components of the flow between the Pacific and Indian Oceans through the Indonesian Archipelago, the Indo-Pacific Throughflow, ...
Free Planetary Waves in Finite-Difference Numerical Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The effects of spatial finite-differencing, viscosity and diffusion on unbounded planetary waves in numerical models are investigated using a quasi-geostrophic approximation to the midlatitude, ?-plane, shallow-water ...
Adjustment of the Ocean under Buoyancy Forces. Part II: The Role of Planetary Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A numerical ocean general circulation model is used to investigate the early stages in the adjustment to equilibrium of an ocean initially at rest with imposed uniform meridional potential temperature gradients, which yield ...
Climate Variability over the Tropical Indian Ocean Sector in the NSIPP Seasonal Forecast System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Prospects for forecasting Indian dipole mode (IDM) events with lead times of a season or more are examined using the NASA Seasonal-to-Interannual Prediction Project (NSIPP) coupled-model forecast system. The mean climatology ...
A Modified Sverdrup Model of the Atlantic and Caribbean Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An analytical model of the mean wind-driven circulation of the North Atlantic and Caribbean Sea is constructed based on linear dynamics and assumed existence of a level of no motion above all topography. The circulation ...
