Southern Ocean Response to Relative Velocity Wind Stress Forcing
An eddy resolving quasi-geostrophic model of the Southern Ocean coupled to a dynamic atmospheric mixed layer is used to compare the performance of two different wind stress parameterisation schemes. The first is the standard quadratic drag law based on atmospheric velocity alone, while the second (more exact) formulation is based on the difference between ocean and atmosphere velocities. The tw...
متن کاملEnergetics of wind-driven barotropic variability in the Southern Ocean
This study addresses the energetics of the Southern Ocean, in response to high-frequency wind forcing. A constant-density, multi-layer model is forced with a band of stochastically varying wind stress. The focus is on the interplay between the surface layer and the interior circulation. In line with previous examinations, it is concluded that the interior ocean is not directly energized by the ...
متن کاملInterpreting wind-driven Southern Ocean variability in a stochastic framework
A stochastic model is derived from wind stress and bottom pressure gauge data to examine the response of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) transport to wind stress forcing. A general method is used to estimate the drift and diffusion coef cients of a continuous stationaryMarkovian system. As a rst approximation, the response of the ACC to wind stress forcing can be describedby a multiv...
متن کاملStatistical Characterization of Zonal and Meridional Ocean Wind Stress
Four years of ocean vector wind data are used to evaluate statistics of wind stress over the ocean. Raw swath wind stresses derived from the Quick Scatterometer (QuikSCAT) are compared with five different global gridded wind products, including products based on scatterometer observations, meteorological analysis winds from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, and reanalysis ...
متن کاملRobust Wind and Precipitation Responses to the Mount Pinatubo Eruption, as Simulated in the CMIP5 Models
The volcanic eruption of Mount Pinatubo in June 1991 is the largest terrestrial eruption since the beginning of the satellite era. Here, the monthly evolution of atmospheric temperature, zonal winds, and precipitation following the eruption in 14 CMIP5 models is analyzed and strong and robust stratospheric and tropospheric circulation responses are demonstrated in both hemispheres, with troposp...
