Abstract: Oceanic interdecadal thermohaline oscillations are studied in the context of a conceptual two box model. In this mechanistic model, two essential processes associated with convection, subsurface advective heating and surface ...

Abstract: A two-dimensional (in a vertical and meridional plane) model for steady equatorial undercurrents is described. Compared to the primitive equation model, the zonal pressure gradient and associated zonal temperature gradients ...

Abstract: Oceanic interdecadal thermohaline oscillations are investigated with a coarse-resolution version of the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory Modular Ocean Model. The geometry of the model is a box with a depth of 5000 m ...

Abstract: A multilayer ocean model that is physically simple and computationally efficient is developed for studies of competition and interaction among deep-water sources in determining ocean circulation. The model is essentially ...
