RISThe Role of Cabbeling and Double Diffusion in Setting the Density of the North Pacific Intermediate Water Salinity Minimum
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The top of the North Pacific Intermediate Water (NPIW) in the subtropical North Pacific is identified with the main salinity minimum in the density range σ? = 26.7?26.8. The most likely source of low salinity for the NPIW ...
Radiating Instability of Nonzonal Oceanic Shear Flows with Application to the Kuroshio Extension Current
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper proposes a mechanism to explain the fairly energetic internal temperature fluctuations observed in the regions far away from the axis of the Kuroshio Extension Current (KEC). Based upon the typical observed time ...
Recalculated Radiating Instabilities Using the Correct Matching and Boundary Conditions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Yun et al. (hereafter YPM) have reported results of a study on the radiating instabilities of nonzonal shear flows as a possible source of the energetic internal temperature fluctuations observed in the regions away from ...
ENSO Teleconnection to the Isopycnal Depth Fluctuations of the East/Japan Sea Intermediate Water in the Ulleung Basin during 1968–2002
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study first detects the decadal variability in the depths of the East/Japan Sea (EJS) Intermediate Water (ESIW) using in situ observations and relates it to strong El Niño?Southern Oscillations (ENSOs). Using multitaper ...
