RISThe Mean and the Time Variability of the Shallow Meridional Overturning Circulation in the Tropical South Pacific Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he meridional transport in the Pacific Ocean subtropical cell is studied for the period from 2004 to 2011 using gridded Argo temperature and salinity profiles and atmospheric reanalysis surface winds. The poleward Ekman ...
Model Estimates of M2 Internal Tide Generation over Mid-Atlantic Ridge Topography
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The conversion of barotropic to baroclinic M2 tidal energy is examined for a section of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge in the Brazil Basin using a primitive equation model. Model runs are made with different horizontal smoothing ...
Estimating the Velocity and Transport of Western Boundary Current Systems: A Case Study of the East Australian Current near Brisbane
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractWestern boundary currents (WBCs) are highly variable narrow meandering jets, making assessment of their volume transports a complex task. The required high-resolution temporal and spatial measurements are available ...
Incoherent Nature of M2 Internal Tides at the Hawaiian Ridge
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: oored current, temperature, and conductivity measurements are used to study the temporal variability of M2 internal tide generation above the Kaena Ridge, between the Hawaiian islands of Oahu and Kauai. The energy conversion ...
