Energetics of wind-driven barotropic variability in the Southern Ocean
This study addresses the energetics of the Southern Ocean, in response to high-frequency wind forcing. A constant-density, multi-layer model is forced with a band of stochastically varying wind stress. The focus is on the interplay between the surface layer and the interior circulation. In line with previous examinations, it is concluded that the interior ocean is not directly energized by the ...
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 کاملSouthern Ocean Response to Relative Velocity Wind Stress Forcing
An eddy resolving quasi-geostrophic model of the Southern Ocean coupled to a dynamic atmospheric mixed layer is used to compare the performance of two different wind stress parameterisation schemes. The first is the standard quadratic drag law based on atmospheric velocity alone, while the second (more exact) formulation is based on the difference between ocean and atmosphere velocities. The tw...
متن کاملVariability of Wind and Wind Power
The installed capacity for wind power is increasing substantially in response to the worldwide interest in low-emissions power sources and a desire to decrease the dependence on petroleum. The European Union directive 2009/28/EC enforces the mandatory target of a 20 % share of energy from renewable sources in overall Community energy consumption by 2020 and a mandatory 10 % minimum target to be...
متن کاملWind-Driven Variability of the Subtropical North Pacific Ocean
The Argo array provides a unique dataset to explore variability of the subsurface ocean interior. This study considers the subtropical North Pacific Ocean during the period from 2004 to 2011, when Argo coverage has been relatively complete in time and space. Two distinct patterns of Argo dynamic height transport function (d DH) are observed: in 2004/05, the gyre is stronger, and in 2008/09 it i...
