Eddy-Wind-Topography Interaction Dynamics
We address these questions through systematic numerical sensitivity experiments using the Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM). We begin with idealized model experiment on f-plane and flat bottom, which provides insights on the follow-up experiments of more complicated eddy-windtopography dynamics on beta-plane in a more realistic coastal ocean setting (i.e. the Gulf of Mexico). In the GoM exp...
متن کاملBaroclinic Eddy Equilibration under Specified Seasonal Forcing
Baroclinic eddy equilibration under a Northern Hemisphere–like seasonal forcing is studied using a modified multilayer quasigeostrophic channel model to investigate the widely used ‘‘quick baroclinic eddy equilibration’’ assumption and to understand to what extent baroclinic adjustment can be applied to interpret the midlatitude climate. Under a slowly varying seasonal forcing, the eddy and mea...
متن کاملJet Formation and Evolution in Baroclinic Turbulence with Simple Topography
Satellite altimetry and high-resolution ocean models indicate that the Southern Ocean is comprised of an intricate web of narrow, meandering jets that undergo spontaneous formation, merger and splitting events, and rapid latitude shifts over periods of weeks to months. The role of topography in controlling jet variability is explored using over 100 simulations from a doubly-periodic, forced-dis...
متن کاملDynamics of Synoptic Eddy and Low-Frequency Flow Interaction. Part III: Baroclinic Model Results
In this three-part study, a linear closure has been developed for the synoptic eddy and low-frequency flow (SELF) interaction and demonstrated that internal dynamics plays an important role in generating the leading low-frequency modes in the extratropical circulation anomalies during cold seasons. In Part III, a new linearized primitive equation system is first derived for time-mean flow anoma...
متن کاملScaling Baroclinic Eddy Fluxes: Vortices and Energy Balance
The eddy heat flux generated by the statistically equilibrated baroclinic instability of a uniform, horizontal temperature gradient is studied using a two-mode f-plane quasigeostrophic model. An overview of the dependence of the eddy diffusivity D on the bottom friction , the deformation radius , the vertical variation of the large-scale flow U, and the domain size L is provided by numerical si...
