RISDepth-Integrated Vorticity Budget of the Southern Ocean from a General Circulation Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An analysis of the depth-integrated vorticity budget of the U.K. Fine Resolution Antarctic Model is used to investigate the mechanisms that maintain and dissipate vorticity in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) and ...
Eddy Advective and Diffusive Transports of Heat and Salt in the Southern Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: There are two distinct mechanisms by which eddies provide systematic transport of tracer on isopycnals: the advective transport, associated with the slumping of isopycnals, and the diffusive transport, associated with ...
Response of the Southern Ocean to the Southern Annular Mode: Interannual Variability and Multidecadal Trend
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The authors evaluate the response of the Southern Ocean to the variability and multidecadal trend of the southern annular mode (SAM) from 1972 to 2001 in a global eddy-permitting model of the DRAKKAR project. The transport ...
A New Index for the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation at 26°N
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) has received considerable attention, motivated by its major role in the global climate system. Observations of AMOC strength at 26°N made by the Rapid Climate Change ...
