RISEquilibration of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current by Standing Meanders
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he insensitivity of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC)?s prominent isopycnal slope to changes in wind stress is thought to stem from the action of mesoscale eddies that counterbalance the wind-driven Ekman overturning?a ...
A Conjecture on the Role of Bottom-Enhanced Diapycnal Mixing in the Parameterization of Geostrophic Eddies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The parameterization of geostrophic eddies represents a large sink of energy in most ocean models, yet the ultimate fate of this eddy energy in the ocean remains unclear. The authors conjecture that a significant fraction ...
Conjugated Convection Conduction Analysis in Microchannels With Axial Diffusion Effects and a Single Domain Formulation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An extension of a recently proposed single domain formulation of conjugated conduction–convection heat transfer problems is presented, taking into account the axial diffusion effects at both the walls and fluid regions, ...
The Zonal Dimension of the Indian Ocean Meridional Overturning Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The three-dimensional structure of the meridional overturning circulation (MOC) in the deep Indian Ocean is investigated with an eddy-permitting ocean model. The amplitude of the modeled deep Indian Ocean MOC is 5.6 Sv (1 ...
Internal Waves and Turbulence in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study reports on observations of turbulent dissipation and internal wave-scale flow properties in a standing meander of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) north of the Kerguelen Plateau. The authors characterize ...
Water Mass Conversion, Fluxes, and Mixing in the Scotia Sea Diagnosed by an Inverse Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An inverse box model of the Scotia Sea is constructed using hydrographic, tracer, and velocity data collected along the rim of the basin during the Antarctic Large-Scale Box Analysis and the Role of the Scotia Sea (ALBATROSS) ...
Convective Eigenvalue Problems for Convergence Enhancement of Eigenfunction Expansions in Convection–Diffusion Problems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The present work considers the application of the generalized integral transform technique (GITT) in the solution of a class of linear or nonlinear convection–diffusion problems, by fully or partially incorporating the ...
Influence of the Distortion of Vertical Wavenumber Spectra on Estimates of Turbulent Dissipation Using the Finescale Parameterization: Eikonal Calculations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Damping of Climate-Scale Oceanic Variability by Mesoscale Eddy Turbulence
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Variability of Subantarctic Mode Water and Antarctic Intermediate Water in the Drake Passage during the Late-Twentieth and Early-Twenty-First Centuries
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A time series of the physical and biogeochemical properties of Subantarctic Mode Water (SAMW) and Antarctic Intermediate Water (AAIW) in the Drake Passage between 1969 and 2005 is constructed using 24 transects of measurements ...
