3D Modeling of Wind-Driven Circulation In The Northern Indian Ocean During Monsoon
Abstract The purpose of this research is to design and identify some of the natures and characteristics of high-resolution surface currents in the Northern Indian Ocean. The pattern of 3D circulation of the Wind-driven surface currents, Sea surface temperature (SST) and Sea Surface Salinity (SSS) distribution in the Northern Indian Ocean using The MIT general circulation model (MITgcm) with ho...
متن کاملInterpreting wind-driven Southern Ocean variability in a stochastic framework
A stochastic model is derived from wind stress and bottom pressure gauge data to examine the response of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) transport to wind stress forcing. A general method is used to estimate the drift and diffusion coef cients of a continuous stationaryMarkovian system. As a rst approximation, the response of the ACC to wind stress forcing can be describedby a multiv...
متن کاملOn Wind-Driven Mid-Latitude Convection in Ocean General Circulation
Several computational experiments were carried out with a state-of-the-art ocean general circulation model to identify the northward directed Ekman transport of Antarctic and Subantarctic origin surface water as a mechanism which forces mid-latitude convection. The results indicate that the wind-driven transport of water in the surface layer is most efficient at increasing the depth of convecti...
متن کاملChaos in Thèsliced Cone' Model of Wind-driven Ocean Circulation
This paper presents a numerical exploration of the behavior of thèsliced cone' laboratory apparatus, a simple model of wind-driven ocean circulation in a basin entirely bounded by continental shelves. The asymptotic (large time) variability of the ow is studied as a function of forcing strength using the techniques of dynamical systems theory. This approach sheds light on the transitions which ...
متن کاملWind-Driven Cross-Equatorial Flow in the Indian Ocean
Meridional velocity, mass, and heat transport in the equatorial oceans are difficult to estimate because of the nonapplicability of the geostrophic balance. For this purpose a steady-state model is utilized in the equatorial Indian Ocean using NCEP wind stress and temperature and salinity data from the World Ocean Atlas 2005 (WOA05) and Argo. The results show a Somali Current flowing to the sou...
