Abstract: The results from ocean model experiments conducted with isopycnal and isopycnal thickness diffusion parameterizations for subgrid-scale mixing associated with mesoscale eddies are examined from a numerical standpoint. It ...

Abstract: The ocean component of the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory coupled model is used to investigate whether or not the interdecadal variability found in Delworth et al. is an ocean-only mode or a mode of the full coupled ...

Abstract: A coupled model of intermediate complexity is used to examine the effect of the Southern Ocean on tropical Atlantic variability. Model experiments with positive surface temperature, freshwater, and wind forcings in the ...

Abstract: he occurrence of individual extremes such as temperature and precipitation extremes can have a great impact on the environment. Agriculture, energy demands, and human health, among other activities, can be affected by ...

Abstract: Several simple numerical experiments are conducted, using both single- and double-hemisphere ocean basins under symmetric steady forcing to study de ocean's thermohaline circulation. It is shown that a stable steady state ...

Abstract: A simple surface boundary condition that allows evaporation to depend on sea surface temperature is developed for use in uncoupled ocean models. A positive feedback with the thermohaline circulation is produced, whereby ...

Abstract: An idealized coupled ocean?atmosphere model is utilized to study the influence of horizontal resolution and parameterized eddy processes on the poleward heat transport in the climate system. A series of experiments ranging ...
