Simple Mechanistic Models of Mid-Depth Meridional Overturning
Two idealized, three-dimensional, analytical models of mid-depth meridional overturning in a basin with a southern-hemisphere circumpolar connection are described. In the first, the overturning circulation can be understood as a ‘pump and valve’ system, in which the wind forcing at the latitudes of the circumpolar connection is the pump, and surface thermodynamic exchange at high northern latit...
متن کاملEleven Simple Algorithms to Compute Fibonacci Numbers
The Fibonacci numbers are a sequence of integers in which every number after the first two, 0 and 1, is the sum of the two preceding numbers. These numbers are well known and algorithms to compute them are so easy that they are often used in introductory algorithms courses. In this paper, we present eleven of these well-known algorithms and some of their properties. These algorithms, though ver...
متن کاملNOTES AND CORRESPONDENCE Global Ocean Meridional Overturning
A decade-mean global ocean circulation is estimated using inverse techniques, incorporating air–sea fluxes of heat and freshwater, recent hydrographic sections, and direct current measurements. This information is used to determine mass, heat, freshwater, and other chemical transports, and to constrain boundary currents and dense overflows. The 18 boxes defined by these sections are divided int...
متن کاملAtlantic Dominance of the Meridional Overturning Circulation
North Atlantic (NA) deep-water formation and the resulting Atlantic meridional overturning cell is generally regarded as the primary feature of the global overturning circulation and is believed to be a result of the geometry of the continents. Here, instead, the overturning is viewed as a global energy–driven system and the robustness of NA dominance is investigated within this framework. Usin...
متن کاملMountain ranges favour vigorous Atlantic meridional overturning
[1] We use a global Ocean-Atmosphere General Circulation Model (OAGCM) to show that the major mountain ranges of the world have a significant role in maintenance of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). A simulation with mountains has a maximum AMOC of 18 Sv (1 Sv = 10 m s ) compared with 0 Sv for a simulation without mountains. Atlantic heat transport at 25°N is 1.1 PW with m...
