The natural abundance of 14C in total CO2 dissolved in seawater (DIC) is a property applied to evaluate the water age structure and circulation in the ocean and in ocean models. In this study we use t...
Ocean Circulation and Climate: Observing and Modelling the Global Ocean
Global Ocean Observing
2015/7/31
This book encapsulates the enormous progress made in the 1990s in understanding the ocean circulation and the role of the ocean in climate change. The basis for much of the knowledge used in the book ...
Supply-Side Ecology and the Response of Zooplankton to Climate-Driven Changes in North Atlantic Ocean Circulation
Response of Zooplankton Supply-Side Ecology
2015/7/29
Recent findings from oceanographic field studies conducted on both sides of the North Atlantic have dramatically altered our view of how zooplankton populations respond to climate-driven changes in oc...
Seafloor topography influences ocean circulation in two basic ways. First, it steers ocean flows. Second, it provides barriers that prevent deep waters from mixing, except within deep passageways that...
Numerical ocean models have become increasingly valuable tools as we strive to understand the nature of the ocean's dynamics. They have progressed from the necessarily crude and idealized tools of dec...
Conditional nonlinear optimal perturbations of the double-gyre ocean circulation
Conditional nonlinear optimal perturbations double-gyre ocean circulation
2009/11/2
In this paper, we study the development of finite amplitude perturbations on linearly stable steady barotropic double-gyre flows in a rectangular basin using the concept of Conditional Nonlinear Optim...
The Influence of Longitudinal Variations in Wind Stress Curl on the Steady Ocean Circulation
Longitudinal Variations Steady Ocean Circulation Wind Stress Curl
2009/3/24
The influence of longitudinal variations in wind stress curt on the steady circulation in a rectangular ocean basin is investigated analytically in a linear barotropic model. It is shown that longitud...
Surface Thermal Boundary Condition for Ocean Circulation Models
Surface Thermal Boundary Condition Ocean Circulation Models
2009/3/9
By employing a heat budget analysis appropriate to zonally and time averaged conditions within the atmosphere, it is shown that the net downward heat flux Q at the ocean's surface can be expressed as ...
Numerical Simulation of the Arctic Ocean Circulation
Numerical Simulation Arctic Ocean Circulation
2009/3/7
The circulation of the Arctic Ocean and Greenland Sea is simulated using the 1969 numerical model of Bryan and Cox. The coastline and bottom topography of the region are resolved by a 110 km horizonta...
An Example of Eddy-Induced Ocean Circulation
Eddy-Induced Ocean Circulation Gyre scale local vorticity balances
2009/2/18
Gyre scale and local vorticity balances are examined for a single numerical experiment designed to elucidate the role of eddies in the oceanic general circulation. Due to the complex nature of the flo...
Observed Surface Winds at Middleton Island, Gulf of Alaska and Their Influence on the Ocean Circulation
Observed Surface Winds Middleton Island Ocean Circulation
2009/2/16
Winds observed at an island in the Gulf of Alaska display a large annual signal with maximum easterlies in winter and weak easterlies in summer. For the northern Gulf of Alaska, the monthly mean Ekman...
Numerical Simulation of Equatorial Ocean Circulation. Part I：A Basic Case in Turbulent Equilibrium
Equatorial Ocean Circulation Turbulent Equilibrium
2009/2/16
An equatorial ocean experiment has been carried out, using the primitive equation model of Semtner and Mintz (1977) with a highly conservative differencing scheme, with high horizontal resolution (Δx ...
The Sverdrup Relation in the Indian Ocean, and the Effect of Pacific-Indian Ocean Throughflow on Indian Ocean Circulation and on the East Australian Current
Sverdrup Relation Indian Ocean Pacific-Indian Ocean Indian Ocean Circulation
2009/2/9
The observed distribution of the depth-integrated steric height (mass transport function) in the Indian Ocean compares favorably with the distribution computed from the Sverdrup relation and annual av...
Initial Testing of a Numerical Ocean Circulation Model Using a Hybrid (Quasi-Isopycnic) Vertical Coordinate
Initial Testing Hybrid (Quasi-Isopycnic) Vertical Coordinate Numerical Ocean Circulation Model
