Zonal Wind Errors in the Barotropic Model
Zonal wind errors in a series of numerical barotropic forecasts are discussed. A characteristic error is the growth of west winds in middle latitudes and their decay to the south. Momentum transport in the absence of momentum sources and sinks in the barotropic model is suggested as the principal contributor to this type of error. Etridence of nonlinear growth of the zonal wind error suggests t...
متن کاملA Mathematical Model for Indian Ocean Circulation in Spherical Coordinate
In recent years, the Indian Ocean (IO) has been discovered to have a much larger impact on climate variability than previously thought. This paper reviews processes in which the IO is, or appears to be, actively involved. We begin the mathematical model with a pattern for summer monsoon winds. Three dimensional temperature and velocity fields are calculated analytically for the ocean forced by ...
متن کاملDecadal biogeochemical changes in the subtropical Indian Ocean associated with Subantarctic Mode Water
[1] Within the Subantarctic Mode Water (SAMW) density level, we study temporal changes in salinity, nutrients, oxygen and TTD (Transit Time Distribution) ages in the western (W) and eastern (E) subtropical gyre of the Indian Ocean (IO) from 1987 to 2002. Additionally, changes in Total Alkalinity (TA) and Dissolved Inorganic Carbon (DIC) are evaluated between 1995 and 2002. The mechanisms behind...
متن کاملMeridional variability of atmospheric convection associated with the Indian Ocean Dipole Mode
The Indian Ocean Dipole Mode (IODM) impacts many surrounding and remote regions of the Indian Ocean, with devastating floods over East Africa but severe droughts in countries surrounding Indonesia during a positive IODM event. Understanding the dynamics is important for seasonal prediction and climate projections, but the role of meridional temperature and circulation anomalies remains unclear....
متن کاملEddy-mean-flow interaction in a barotropic ocean model
The role of eddies in the maintenance of idealized, antisymmetrically forced double gyres is studied using a barotropic ocean circulation model. A diagnosis in terms of q , the quasi-conserved absolute vorticity , enables an understanding of the effect of the eddies on the time-mean flow. The unstable model Gulf Stream, partitioning counter-rotating gyres, is the confluence region where q conto...
