Nonlocality of scale-dependent eddy mixing at the Kuroshio Extension

Decadal Variability of the Kuroshio Extension: Observations and an Eddy-Resolving Model Hindcast*

Low-frequency variability of the Kuroshio Extension (KE) is studied using observations and a multidecadal (1950–2003) hindcast by a high-resolution (0.1°), eddy-resolving, global ocean general circulation model for the Earth Simulator (OFES). In both the OFES hindcast and satellite altimeter observations, low-frequency sea surface height (SSH) variability in the North Pacific is high near the K...

Isopycnal Eddy Diffusivities and Critical Layers in the Kuroshio Extension from an Eddying Ocean Model

High spatial resolution isopycnal diffusivities are estimated in the Kuroshio Extension (KE) region (288– 408N, 1208–1908E) from a global 1/108 Parallel Ocean Program (POP) simulation. The numerical float tracks are binned using a clustering approach. The number of tracks in each bin is thus roughly the same leading to diffusivity estimates that converge better than those in bins defined by a r...

Uncertainty and predictability in the Kuroshio Extension jet in an eddy-resolving OGCM driven by interallually varying winds

Eddy Mixing Coefficient On

Data on the composition and thermal structure, and the Lyman-alpha dayglow of Saturn when analyzed in conjunction with photochemical models of the hydrocarbons and the atomic hydrogen g reduction yield the homopause value of the eddy diffusion coefficient to be approximately 10 cm2 s-l. The equatorial value of the eddy diffusion coefficient at the homopause of Saturn is thus found to be approxi...

construction and validation of the translation teacher competency test and the scale of students’ perceptions of translation teachers

the major purpose of this study was to develop the translation teacher competency test (ttct) and examine its construct and predictive validity. the present study was conducted in two phases: a qualitative phase as well as a quantitative phase. in the first phase of the study, the author attempted to find out the major areas of competency required for an academic translation teacher. the second...
