Evidence for deep eddy mixing in the Southern Ocean
Satellite altimetric observations of the ocean reveal surface pressure patterns in the core of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) that propagate downstream (eastward) but slower than the mean surface current by about 25%. We argue that these observations are suggestive of baroclinically unstable waves that have a steering level at a depth of about 1 km. Detailed linear stability calculatio...
متن کاملLocalization of Deep Ocean Convection by a Mesoscale Eddy
Observations of open-ocean deep convection indicate that it is a highly localized phenomenon, occurring over areas of tens of kilometers in diameter. The cause of this localization has been ascribed to ‘‘preconditioning’’— the local weakening of the stable density stratification associated with upwardly domed isopycnal surfaces in a surface-intensified cyclonic circulation. However, most numeri...
متن کاملDimensionless Measures of Turbulent Magnetohydrodynamic Dissipation Rates
The magnetic Reynolds number RM , is defined as the product of a characteristic scale and associated flow speed divided by the microphysical magnetic diffusivity. For laminar flows, RM also approximates the ratio of advective to dissipative terms in the total magnetic energy equation, but for turbulent flows this latter ratio depends on the energy spectra and approaches unity in a steady state....

متن کاملAn Eddy-Permitting Southern Ocean State Estimate
An eddy-permitting general circulation model of the Southern Ocean is fit by constrained least squares to a large observational dataset during 2005–06. Data used include Argo float profiles, CTD synoptic sections, Southern Elephant Seals as Oceanographic Samplers (SEaOS) instrument-mounted seal profiles, XBTs, altimetric observations [Envisat, Geosat, Jason-1, and Ocean Topography Experiment (T...
