Abstract: A new technique for incorporating processes of near-bottom tracer transport over sloping topography in geopotential-coordinate ocean circulation models is presented. It is based on a ?hybrid? approach, coupling a simple ...

Abstract: The bottom boundary layer model approach of Beckmann and Döscher has been adopted for application in a coarse-resolution model of the North Atlantic Ocean. Both components of the approach (advective and conditional diffusive) ...

Abstract: Different processes have been proposed to explain the large-scale spreading of Mediterranean Water (MW) in the North Atlantic, however, no systematic study comparing the efficiency of different processes is yet available. ...
