RISSSH Wavenumber Spectra in the North Pacific from a High-Resolution Realistic Simulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ollowing recent studies based on altimetric data, this paper analyses the spectral characteristics of the sea surface height (SSH) using a new realistic simulation of the North Pacific Ocean with high resolution ( in the ...
Formation Mechanism for Isopycnal Temperature–Salinity Anomalies Propagating from the Eastern South Pacific to the Equatorial Region
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Equatorward propagation of temperature?salinity (or spiciness) anomalies on an isopycnal surface emanating from the eastern subtropical South Pacific and their formation mechanism are investigated based on a hindcast ...
Seasonality of the Kuroshio Path Destabilization Phenomenon in the Okinawa Trough: A Numerical Study of Its Mechanism
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Previous observations have indicated that the Kuroshio?s path in the northern Okinawa Trough of the East China Sea is destabilized and accompanied by meanders with periods of 1?3 months during the winter?spring period. The ...
Generation of the North Equatorial Undercurrent Jets by Triad Baroclinic Rossby Wave Interactions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ormation processes responsible for the North Equatorial Undercurrent (NEUC) jets that appear across the tropical North Pacific Ocean near 9°, 13°, and 18°N are explored both theoretically and using numerical models with ...
Cold Water Flow and Upper-Ocean Currents in the Bismarck Sea from December 2001 to January 2002
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he authors investigated the upper-ocean currents in the Bismarck Sea and related oceanic thermal changes in the western equatorial South Pacific for December 2001?January 2002; during this period, coastal upwelling occurred ...

Interannual-to-Decadal Variability in the Oyashio and Its Influence on Temperature in the Subarctic Frontal Zone: An Eddy-Resolving OGCM Simulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Output of an eddy-resolving OGCM simulation is used to investigate mechanisms for interannual-to-decadal variability in the Oyashio and its influence on the subarctic frontal zone in the western North Pacific. Lag correlation ...
Midlatitude Baroclinic Rossby Waves in a High-Resolution OGCM Simulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The effects of background baroclinic zonal flow and bottom pressure decoupling on midlatitude oceanic Rossby wave dynamics using a high-resolution OGCM simulation are investigated. To examine these effects, the phase speed ...
Influence of Eddy Momentum Fluxes on the Mean Flow of the Kuroshio Extension in a 1/10° Ocean General Circulation Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study explores the role of the momentum flux divergence due to mesoscale eddies for the maintenance of the Kuroshio Extension (KE) jet. For that purpose, the zonal momentum budget in a high-resolution ocean general ...
Seasonal Mesoscale and Submesoscale Eddy Variability along the North Pacific Subtropical Countercurrent
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ocated at the center of the western North Pacific Subtropical Gyre, the Subtropical Countercurrent (STCC) is not only abundant in mesoscale eddies, but also exhibits prominent submesoscale eddy features. Output from a ° ...
