Accelerated simulation of passive tracers in ocean circulation models
A novel strategy is proposed for the efficient simulation of geochemical tracers in ocean models. The method captures the tracer advection and diffusion in a general circulation model (GCM) without any alteration (or even knowledge) of the GCM code. In comparison with offline tracer models, the proposed method is considerably more efficient and automatically includes all parameterizations of un...
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...
متن کاملUsing ocean margin density to constrain ocean circulation and surface wind strength in the past
[1] Abstract: The density structure along the ocean margins carries an integrated imprint of ocean circulation. The difference in pressure between the eastern and western margins of the ocean reflects the net meridional geostrophic transport across the ocean basin. If one assumes that the wind driven circulation is closed in the upper ocean, the wind driven component of the net geostrophic tran...
متن کاملGeneration of Hawaiian post-erosional lavas by melting of a mixed lherzolite/pyroxenite source
Melting of mafic veins in a marble-cake mantle may play an important role in generating isotopic and chemical heterogeneities in mid-ocean ridge and ocean island basalts. Mafic veins have lower solidi than mantle peridotite and will be preferentially sampled during partial melting, particularly at low melt fractions. However, the abundance of mafic components in the mantle or their role during ...
متن کاملPassive tracers in a general circulation model of the Southern Ocean
Passive tracers are used in an o-line version of the United Kingdom Fine Resolution Antarctic Model (FRAM) to highlight features of the circulation and provide information on the inter-ocean exchange of water masses. The use of passive tracers allows a picture to be built up of the deep circulation which is not readily apparent from examination of the velocity or density ®elds. Comparison of o...
