Oceanic restratification forced by surface frontogenesis
Potential vorticity (PV) conservation implies a strong constraint on the time evolution of the mean density at a given depth. We show that, on an f -plane and in the absence of sources and sinks of PV, it only depends on two terms, namely the time evolution of the product between density anomaly and relative vorticity, and the vertical PV flux. This primitive-equation result, that applies at an...

متن کاملA Scheme to Identify Loops from Trajectories of Oceanic Surface Drifters: An Application in the Kuroshio Extension Region
When a drifter is trapped in an eddy, it makes either a cycloidal or a looping trajectory. The former case takes place when the translating speed is larger than the eddy spinning speed. When the background mean velocity is removed, drifter trajectories make loops. Thus, eddies can be detected from a drifter trajectory by identifying looping segments. In this paper, an automated scheme is develo...
متن کاملThe Influence of the Madden–Julian Oscillation on Ocean Surface Heat Fluxes and Sea Surface Temperature
The Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO) involves pronounced variations in convection and large-scale circulation throughout the tropical troposphere. In addition, the MJO is also related to dynamic and thermodynamic variability near the surface and the upper ocean. This study uses observational data to characterize the changes in surface heat fluxes and sea surface temperature (SST) during the life...
