Ocean General Circulation From a Global Eddy-Resolving Model
A concerted effort has been made to simulate the global ocean circulation with resolved eddies, using a highly optimized model on the best available supercomputer. An earlier 20-year spin-up has been extended for 12.5 additional years: the first 2.5 with continued annual mean forcing and the final 10.0 with climatological monthly forcing. Model output archived at 3-day intervals has been analyz...
متن کاملEvaluation of a near-global eddy-resolving ocean model
Analysis of the variability of the last 18 yr (1993– 2012) of a 32 yr run of a new near-global, eddy-resolving ocean general circulation model coupled with biogeochemistry is presented. Comparisons between modelled and observed mean sea level (MSL), mixed layer depth (MLD), sea level anomaly (SLA), sea surface temperature (SST), and chlorophyll a indicate that the model variability is realistic...
متن کاملLognormal turbulence dissipation in global ocean models
Data from turbulent numerical simulations of the global ocean demonstrate that the dissipation of kinetic energy obeys a nearly lognormal distribution at surprisingly large horizontal scales. As the horizontal scales of resolved turbulence are larger than the ocean is deep, the KolmogorovYaglom theory for intermittency in 3D homogeneous, isotropic turbulence cannot apply: instead the downscale ...
متن کاملEddy-resolving ocean circulation in the Asian–Australian region inferred from an ocean reanalysis effort
The first global ocean reanalysis with focus on the Asian–Australian region was performed for the period October 1992 to June 2006. The 14-year experiment assimilated available observations of altimetric sea-level anomaly, satellite SST and quality-controlled in situ temperature and salinity profiles from a range of sources, including field surveys and the Argo float array. This study focuses o...
متن کاملRapid Southern Ocean front transitions in an eddy‐resolving ocean GCM
[1] The formation of persistent multiple fronts is an established feature of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC). Front strength and location are closely linked to eddy properties and therefore have important implications for the eddy‐driven closure of the Southern Ocean meridional overturning circulation. ACC front structure is analyzed here by calculating regional probability density func...
