Springtime Atmospheric Responses To North Atlantic Sst Anomalies In Idealized Gcm Experiments: Northern Hemisphere Circulation And North American Precipitation, Michael C. Veres
Springtime Atmospheric Responses To North Atlantic Sst Anomalies In Idealized Gcm Experiments: Northern Hemisphere Circulation And North American Precipitation, Michael C. Veres
Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
In this study, a series of experiments using idealized sea surface temperatures (SST), land and orography are performed to examine the interactions between the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO), continents and major orography. Three sets of experiments are done using an increasingly realistic surface boundary (aqua-planet, land without orography and land with orography) and run using perpetual equinox conditions. For each land surface boundary, the model is forced with a zonally symmetric SST, with additional experiments with an imposed positive or negative SST anomalies in the North Atlantic. The experiments are then compared to determine how these forcings interact and what …
Simulations Of The Atlantic Ocean With A Free Surface Sigma Coordinate Ocean Model, Tal Ezer, George L. Mellor
Simulations Of The Atlantic Ocean With A Free Surface Sigma Coordinate Ocean Model, Tal Ezer, George L. Mellor
CCPO Publications
A sigma coordinate, free surface numerical model with turbulence dynamics has been implemented for the Atlantic Ocean and the Greenland Sea, from 80°S to 80°N. It is driven at the surface by monthly mean sea surface temperature and wind stress climatologies and is executed for 30 years. This is the first time that a model of this type, previously used mostly for coastal and regional simulations, has been implemented for the entire Atlantic Ocean and run for a long period of time. The model horizontal circulation, thermohaline overturning circulation, and meridional heat fluxes are described; the results are compared with …
Description And Vorticity Analysis Of 50-Day Oscillations In The Western Tropical Region Of The Cme Model, Julie L. Mcclean, John M. Klinck
Description And Vorticity Analysis Of 50-Day Oscillations In The Western Tropical Region Of The Cme Model, Julie L. Mcclean, John M. Klinck
CCPO Publications
The WOCE Community Modeling Effort (CME) general circulation model of the North Atlantic was used to investigate the behavior, nature, and dynamics of 50-day oscillations seen in the meridional component of velocity between 5 degrees and 11 degrees N, 35 degrees and 55 degrees W. Oscillations of the meridional component of velocity, with a period of about 50 days, appear as the seasonal meander pattern of the North Equatorial Countercurrent starts to break down in December. They appear first near 35 degrees W and are advected westward. They have a westward phase velocity of about 0.1 m s(-1), wavelength of …
Modes Of Gulf Stream Intrusion Into The South Atlantic Bight Shelf Waters, Larry P. Atkinson
Modes Of Gulf Stream Intrusion Into The South Atlantic Bight Shelf Waters, Larry P. Atkinson
CCPO Publications
Consideration is given to the intrusion of Gulf Stream waters into the shelf waters of the South Atlantic Bight. It is observed that three modes of intrusion may occur, depending on particular ambient shelf water density. They are override, interleave, and bottom intrusion. It is noted that: (1) except in January, when the shelf water densities are relatively higher, 20°C Gulf Stream water can form a bottom intrusion anywhere along the coast, (2) Gulf Stream waters of 24°C can only form bottom intrusions from April to November, and (3) the rest of the year, 24°C waters interleave or override.
