Abstract: Climate models used to produce global warming scenarios exhibit widely diverging responses of the thermohaline circulation (THC). To investigate the mechanisms responsible for this variability, a regional Atlantic Ocean ...

Abstract: The level of no motion plays a central role in the classical dynamic method and the more advanced diagnostic schemes of the ?-spiral (e.g., Stommel and Schott) and inverse method (Wunsch) to calculate the absolute velocity ...

Abstract: This paper is an analytical and numerical study of the response of the ocean to the fluctuating component of the wind stress as computed from twice-daily weather maps for the period 1973 to 1976. The results are described ...

Abstract: Different processes have been proposed to explain the large-scale spreading of Mediterranean Water (MW) in the North Atlantic, however, no systematic study comparing the efficiency of different processes is yet available. ...

Abstract: Analyses of ocean observations and model simulations suggest that there have been considerable changes in the thermohaline circulation (THC) during the last century. These changes are likely to be the result of natural ...
