On Wind-Driven Mid-Latitude Convection in Ocean General Circulation
Several computational experiments were carried out with a state-of-the-art ocean general circulation model to identify the northward directed Ekman transport of Antarctic and Subantarctic origin surface water as a mechanism which forces mid-latitude convection. The results indicate that the wind-driven transport of water in the surface layer is most efficient at increasing the depth of convecti...
متن کامل3D Modeling of Wind-Driven Circulation In The Northern Indian Ocean During Monsoon
Abstract The purpose of this research is to design and identify some of the natures and characteristics of high-resolution surface currents in the Northern Indian Ocean. The pattern of 3D circulation of the Wind-driven surface currents, Sea surface temperature (SST) and Sea Surface Salinity (SSS) distribution in the Northern Indian Ocean using The MIT general circulation model (MITgcm) with ho...
متن کاملOn the Homogeneous Model of Wind-Driven Ocean Circulation
In this paper, we derive rigorously a classical simpliied model of ocean circulation , namely the so called homogeneous model of wind driven ocean circulation (see the monograph of J. Pedlosky 19]) and two of its possible boundary layer behavior, namely Munk layers and Stommel layers.
متن کاملMid-latitude afforestation shifts general circulation and tropical precipitation.
We show in climate model experiments that large-scale afforestation in northern mid-latitudes warms the Northern Hemisphere and alters global circulation patterns. An expansion of dark forests increases the absorption of solar energy and increases surface temperature, particularly in regions where the land surface is unable to compensate with latent heat flux due to water limitation. Atmospheri...
متن کاملOn the Wind Power Input to the Ocean General Circulation
The wind power input to the ocean general circulation is usually calculated from the time-averaged wind products. Here, this wind power input is reexamined using available observations, focusing on the role of the synoptically varying wind. Power input to the ocean general circulation is found to increase by over 70%when 6-hourly winds are used instead of monthly winds. Much of the increase occ...
