Attribution of Deep Western Boundary Current variability at 26.51N
Observed variations in the Deep Western Boundary Current (DWBC) at 26.51N, which carries the deep limb of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC), have been shown to greatly exceed in magnitude the variations of the overall basin-wide MOC, with strong variability at a range of time scales from weeks to multiple-months. Attribution of these strong DWBC variations will be crucial fo...
متن کاملVariability in Deep Western Boundary Current transports: Preliminary results from 26.5 N in the Atlantic
[1] Transport fluctuations of the deep limb of the Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC) near the western boundary are presented from a line of inverted echo sounders, bottom pressure sensors, and a deep current meter east of Abaco Island, Bahamas, at 26.5 N from September 2004 through September 2005. The mean southward flow between 800 dbar and 4800 dbar was 39 10m s , with a northward reci...
متن کاملThe Interaction of a Deep Western Boundary Current and the Wind-Driven Gyres as a Cause for Low-Frequency Variability
Recent modeling and observational studies have indicated that the interaction of the Gulf Stream and the deep western boundary current (DWBC) in the North Atlantic may induce low-frequency (decadal timescale) variability. To understand the origin of this low-frequency variability, a line of studies is continued here addressing the stability and variability of the wind-driven circulation using t...
متن کاملCoupled Model Hindcasts: Local and Remote Forcing
25 The skills of 11 coupled ocean-atmosphere general circulation models (CGCMs) are 26 investigated in the prediction of seasonal rainfall and circulation anomalies over the Northwest 27 (NW) Pacific for the period 1980-2001, with a focus on the summer following the mature phase 28 of El Niño [hereafter JJA(1)]. It is shown that the first empirical orthogonal function (EOF) 29 mode of sea level...
متن کاملVariability and forcing of the East Australian Current
[1] The spatial and temporal variability of the East Australian Current (EAC) is investigated using 6 years (1993–1998) of surface geostrophic stream function from an optimal interpolation of altimeter sea surface heights and velocities derived from tracking thermal features in satellite imagery. Variability appears as a series of cyclones and anticyclones propagating southwestward and westward...
