Thermocline flux exchange during the Pinatubo event
[1] We analyze the temperature anomaly of the Pinatubo eruption using an exact mathematical solution of a standard energy balance model that includes coupling between the mixed layer and the thermocline. Our solution yields a short response time t = 4.4 months and a small climate sensitivity l = 0.22 C/(W/m), implying short-term negative feedback. Also, our analysis determines a value of the ef...
متن کاملInterocean Exchange of Thermocline Water
Formation of North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) represents a transfer of upper layer water to abyssal depths at a rate of 15 to 20 x 10 6 m3/s. NADW spreads throughout the Atlantic Ocean and is exported to the Indian and Pacific Oceans by the Antarctic Circumpolar Current and deep western boundary currents. Naturally, there must be a compensating flow of upper layer water toward the northern Nort...
متن کاملThermocline ventilation and pathways of tropical–subtropical water mass exchange
The mechanism of thermocline ventilation is investigated using a global, high-resolution ocean GCM, with realistic topography and surface wind forcing. Because 2-dimensional representations of circulation can be misleading, the subsurface flow is examined by visualizing the trajectories of particles which subduct in the mid-latitudes and travel within the ventilated thermocline. Three model run...
متن کاملSubstorm Topology in the Ionosphere and Magnetosphere during a Flux Rope Event in the Magnetotail
substorms since the early models of Schindler (1974) and On August 13, 2002, at ~ 2300 UT, about 10 min “plasmoids”, played a major role in transporting the after a substorm intensification, Cluster observes a flux substorm energy antisunwards. The minimum energy rope in the central magnetotail, followed by a localised state of such helical magnetic field structures is fast flow event about one...
متن کاملNutrients in the Atlantic Thermocline
A set of maps are presented of nutrient distribution on isopycnal surfaces in the North and tropical Atlantic Ocean main thermocline. The data used in producing these maps are from the Transient Tracers in the Oceans (TTO) North Atlantic Study and Tropical Atlantic Study, an associated German study (Meteor 56/5), two cross-Atlantic sections from cruise 109 of the Atlantis II, and the GEOSECS pr...
