Decoupling of the Agulhas Leakage from the Agulhas Current

The relationship between theAgulhas Current and theAgulhas leakage is not well understood. Here, this is investigated using two basin-scale and two global ocean models of incrementally increasing resolution. The response of the Agulhas Current is evaluated under a series of sensitivity experiments, in which idealized anomalies, designed to geometrically modulate zonal trade wind stress, are app...

Attribution of Deep Western Boundary Current variability at 26.51N

Observed variations in the Deep Western Boundary Current (DWBC) at 26.51N, which carries the deep limb of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC), have been shown to greatly exceed in magnitude the variations of the overall basin-wide MOC, with strong variability at a range of time scales from weeks to multiple-months. Attribution of these strong DWBC variations will be crucial fo...

Eddy-Mean Flow interactions in the Along-Stream Development of a Western Boundary Current Jet: An Idealized Model Study

A theoretical study on the role of eddy-mean flow interactions in the time-mean dynamics of a zonally evolving, unstable, strongly inertial jet in a configuration and parameter regime that is relevant to oceanic western boundary current (WBC) jets is described. Progress is made by diagnosing the eddy effect on the time-mean circulation, examining the mechanism that permits the eddies to drive t...

Assimilation of Geosat Altimeter Data for the Agulhas Current using the Ensemble Kalman Filter with a Quasi-Geostrophic Model

The ring-shedding process in the Agulhas Current is studied using the ensemble Kalman lter to assimilate Geosat altimeter data into a two layer quasi-geostrophic ocean model. The properties of the ensemble Kalman lter are further explored with focus on the analysis scheme and the use of gridded data. The Geosat data consist of 10 elds of gridded sea-surface height anomalies separated 10 days ap...
