Variability of Southern Ocean Jets near Topography
The interaction of jets with topography in the Southern Ocean is investigated using 19 years of altimetry data. In particular, the ‘‘jet jumping’’ mode of variability, by which two or more jets passing close to the same topographic feature show strongly anticorrelated strengthening and weakening, is studied. Three regional case studies are described—the Southeast Indian Ridge south of Tasmania,...
متن کاملLow frequency variability of Southern Ocean jets
[1] Both observations and high resolution numerical models show that the Southern Ocean circumpolar flow is concentrated in a large number (approximately 8 to 12) of narrow filamentary jets. It is shown here that coherent jets exhibit a range of low frequency variability, on timescales of months to years, that can lead to displacement and to intermittent formation and dissipation of jets. Using...
متن کاملMultidecadal Indian Ocean Variability Linked to the Pacific and Implications for Preconditioning Indian Ocean Dipole Events
The Indian Ocean has sustained robust surface warming in recent decades, but the role of multidecadal variability remains unclear. Using ocean model hindcasts, characteristics of low-frequency Indian Ocean temperature variations are explored. Simulated upper-ocean temperature changes across the IndianOcean in the hindcast are consistent with those recorded in observational products and ocean re...
متن کاملBarents Sea multidecadal variability
[1] We present area-averaged time series of temperature for the 100–150 m depth layer of the Barents Sea from 1900 through 2006. This record is dominated by multidecadal variability on the order of 4 C which is correlated with the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation Index. Citation: Levitus, S., G. Matishov, D. Seidov, and I.

متن کاملForcing of Ocean and Sea Ice Variability by the Southern Hemisphere Annular Mode
Zonally-symmetric fluctuations of the mid-latitude westerly winds characterize the primary mode of atmospheric variability in the southern hemisphere during all seasons. This is true not only in observations, but also in an unforced 15,000 yr integration of a coarse resolution (R15) coupled ocean-atmosphere model. Here we document how this mode of atmospheric variability, known as the Southern ...
