Decadal variability of wind-energy input to the world ocean

the role of russia in transmission of energy from central asia and caucuses to european union

پس ازفروپاشی شوروی،رشد منابع نفت و گاز، آسیای میانه و قفقاز را در یک بازی ژئوپلتیکی انرژی قرار داده است. با در نظر گرفتن این منابع هیدروکربنی، این منطقه به یک میدانجنگ و رقابت تجاری برای بازی های ژئوپلتیکی قدرت های بزرگ جهانی تبدیل شده است. روسیه منطقه را به عنوان حیات خلوت خود تلقی نموده و علاقمند به حفظ حضورش می باشد تا همانند گذشته گاز طبیعی را به وسیله خط لوله مرکزی دریافت و به عنوان یک واس...

On the Wind Power Input to the Ocean General Circulation

The wind power input to the ocean general circulation is usually calculated from the time-averaged wind products. Here, this wind power input is reexamined using available observations, focusing on the role of the synoptically varying wind. Power input to the ocean general circulation is found to increase by over 70%when 6-hourly winds are used instead of monthly winds. Much of the increase occ...

Ocean response to arbitrary wind perturbations in the low-frequency approximation: implications for ENSO and decadal climate variability

We study the response of the ocean thermocline in the Pacific to arbitrary periodic wind stress perturbations in the low-frequency limit. This approximation assumes that the characteristic period of the wind forcing is much longer than the propagation timescales of the first-order baroclinic waves involved in ocean adjustment. Starting from the reduced-gravity 11⁄2-layer model and building on t...

Decadal variability and predictability in themidlatitude ocean { atmosphere

The coupled ocean{atmosphere interaction and predictability associated with the tropical El Ni~ no phenomenon has motivated researchers to seek analogous phenomena in the midlatitudes as well. Are there midlatitude coupled ocean{atmosphere modes? Is there signiicant predictability in the midlatitudes? The authors address these questions in the broader context of trying to understand the mechani...
