Abstract: Experiments using OGCM output have been performed to assess sampling strategies for the Argo array in the Indian Ocean. The results suggest that spatial sampling is critical for resolving intraseasonal oscillations in the ...

Abstract: An approximate mass (volume) budget in the surface layer of the Southern Ocean is used to investigate the intensity and regional variability of the ventilation process, discussed here in terms of subduction and upwelling. ...

Abstract: An increase in the circulation of the South Pacific Ocean subtropical gyre, extending from the sea surface to middepth, is observed over 12 years. Datasets used to quantify the decadal gyre spinup include satellite altimetric ...

Abstract: The near-surface dynamics and thermodynamics of the Indian Ocean are examined in a global ocean general circulation model (OGCM) with enhanced tropical resolution. The model uses a Seager-type heat flux formulation (weak ...
