Air-sea interactions during the passage of a winter storm over the Gulf Stream: A three-dimensional coupled atmosphere-ocean model study
[1] A three-dimensional, regional coupled atmosphere-ocean model with full physics is developed to study air-sea interactions during winter storms off the U. S. east coast. Because of the scarcity of open ocean observations, models such as this offer valuable opportunities to investigate how oceanic forcing drives atmospheric circulation and vice versa. The study presented here considers condit...
متن کاملProcesses Coupling the Upper and Deep Ocean on the Continental Slope
We seek to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the dynamical mechanisms of vertical coupling over topography. • To construct a realistic model of the potential vorticity (PV) distribution on density layers across the Gulf Stream, generated from high-resolution density and velocity observations. • To demonstrate evidence of vertical coupling between the upper and lower layers in a hypothesi...
متن کامل4 The Gulf Stream System
N. P. Fofonoff In the two decades since the first publication of Stommel's (1965) monograph on the Gulf Stream, our knowledge of the Gulf Stream System has been expanded dramatically through the development and application of new, powerful measuring techniques. Multiple ship surveys of the type organized by Fuglister (1963) provided the first systematic descriptions of the spatial structure bet...
متن کاملHigh-resolution sea surface reconstructions off Cape Hatteras over the last 10 ka
[1] This study presents high-resolution foraminiferal-based sea surface temperature, sea surface salinity and upper water column stratification reconstructions off Cape Hatteras, a region sensitive to atmospheric and thermohaline circulation changes associated with the Gulf Stream. We focus on the last 10,000 years (10 ka) to study the surface hydrology changes under our current climate conditi...
متن کاملSimultaneous mooring-based measurements of seawater CO, and 0, of’f Cape Hatteras, North Carolina
We deployed CO, and 0, sensors on the U.S. continental shelf off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, during late summer 1994. A continuous 32-d gas record was obtained at 20 m in 25 m of water, below the thermocline for most of the period. Analysis of the correlation between CO, and 0, indicates that biological and advective processes dominated the gas variability, with small or insignificant fluxes...
