Abstract: To understand Gulf Stream meanders in the South Atlantic Bight, the growth of three-dimensional perturbations along two-dimensional frontal zones is examined by using linearized primitive equations. The Fourier?Galerkin ...

Abstract: The three-dimensional Princeton Ocean Model is used to examine the modification of the Gulf Stream and its meanders by cold air outbreaks. Two types of Gulf Stream meanders are found in the model. Meanders on the shoreward ...

Abstract: The two-dimensional, Advanced Regional Prediction System (ARPS) has been coupled with the Princeton Ocean Model to study air?sea interaction processes during an extreme cold air outbreak over the Gulf Stream off the ...

Abstract: The Princeton Ocean Model is used to study the circulation in the Gulf of Maine and its seasonal transition in response to wind, surface heat flux, river discharge, and the M2 tide. The model has an orthogonal-curvature ...

Abstract: AbstractThe sea surface salinity (SSS) varies largely as a result of the evaporation?precipitation difference, indicating the source or sink of regional/global water vapor. This study identifies a relationship between the ...

Abstract: The greatest fluxes of heat and moisture from the ocean to the atmosphere occur off the east coast of North America during winter when the Gulf Stream is vigorously cooled by strong cold air outbreaks that move off the ...

Abstract: nferred from the satellite and in situ hydrographic data from the 1990s and 2000s, the Kuroshio intrusion into the South China Sea (SCS) had a weakening trend over the past two decades. Associated with the weakened Kuroshio ...
