Influence of the Barotropic Mean Flow on the Width and the Structure of the Atlantic Equatorial Deep Jets
A representation of an equatorial basinmode excited in a shallow-watermodel for a single high-order baroclinic vertical normal mode is used as a simple model for the equatorial deep jets. The model is linearized about both a state of rest and a barotropicmean flow corresponding to the observedAtlantic Equatorial Intermediate Current System. It was found that the eastward mean flow associated wi...
متن کاملEquatorial jets in the dusty Martian atmosphere
Abstract. We investigate the production of equatorial jets which demonstrate strong local super-rotation in an atmospheric general circulation model of Mars. These westerly jets are driven by diurnal thermal tides and their strength is shown to be closely related to the amount of dust in the atmosphere. The super-rotating jets are strongest near to equinox and under conditions of high atmospher...
متن کاملA Model of the Equatorial Deep Jets and the Role of the Horizontal Coriolis Parameter
This thesis reviews observational and theoretical work on the equatorial deep jets and work related to the study of the role of the horizontal Coriolis parameter. Most existing analytical models interpret the equatorial deep jets as either low frequency, long Rossby waves or stationary, long Kelvin waves generated at or near the ocean surface. These models are unable to answer the question of h...
متن کاملIntraseasonal ‘‘monsoon jets’’ in the equatorial Indian Ocean
[1] The zonal wind in the equatorial Indian Ocean (EqIO) is westerly almost throughout the year. It has a strong semiannual cycle and drives the spring and fall Wyrtki jets. In addition, high resolution daily satellite winds show ‘‘westerly wind bursts’’ lasting 10–40 days, associated with atmospheric convection in the eastern EqIO. These bursts have the potential to produce intraseasonal eastw...
متن کاملDistribution and activity of diazotrophs in the Eastern Equatorial Atlantic
The gene abundance and gene expression of six diazotroph populations from the Eastern Equatorial Atlantic in June 2007 were examined using nifH gene quantitative polymerase chain reaction (q PCR) methods. Of all the diazotrophs, Trichodesmium spp. was the most abundant with the highest number of gene copies in the Gulf of Guinea. Trichodesmium also had the highest nitrogenase gene transcript ab...
