Influence of Vertical Mixing on the Thermohaline Hysteresis: Analyses of an OGCM
The thermohaline hysteresis response to varying North Atlantic freshwater forcing is studied by means of a three-dimensional global ocean general circulation model (OGCM). The influence of vertical diffusivity is examined using a wide range of mixing coefficients. For sufficiently large vertical diffusivity the model shows a pronounced hysteresis behavior, so that two equilibrium states of the ...
متن کاملAbrupt Climate Change and Multistability of the Thermohaline Circulation
Ice core records suggest that the Earth’s climate has undergone rapid, catastrophic shifts on multiple occasions in geologically recent times. The multiplicity of steady states found in fluid convection models has led many to speculate that the changes may have been caused by transitions between different stable modes of ocean current patterns. This paper reviews analytical and numerical modeli...
متن کاملDecadal Variability in Coupled Sea-Ice–Thermohaline Circulation Systems*
An interdecadal oscillation in a coupled ocean–ice system was identified in a previous study. This paper extends that study to further examine the stability of the oscillation and the sensitivity of its frequency to various parameters and forcing fields. Three models are used: (i) an analytical box model; (ii) a two-dimensional model for the ocean thermohaline circulation (THC) coupled to a the...
متن کاملStability of the Thermohaline Circulation in a Simple Coupled Model
In an analytical study the stability of the thermohaline circulation with respect to freshwater perturbations in high latitudes is investigated. The study is based on a coupled ocean and atmosphere box model in an idealized North Atlantic geometry. The box model provides a qualitative understanding of how the thermohaline circulation is a ected by feedback mechanisms associated with changes in ...
متن کاملModeling of tidal currents effect on PersianGulf density using MIKE model
General circulation of Persian Gulf has a cyclonic pattern that affected by tide, wind stress and thermohaline force. Although tidal force is very effective in values of current speed, but thermohaline force is dominant in long time because tidal forcing has a short period and returning nature. Tide and density parameters are important in navigating and shipping, especially when ships approachi...
