Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conceptual models are a vital tool for understanding the processes that maintain the global ocean circulation, both in nature and in complex numerical ocean models. In this chapter we provide a broad overview of our conceptual understanding of the wind-driven circulation, the thermohaline circulation, and their transient behavior. While our conceptual understanding of the time-mean wind-driven circulation is now fairly mature, basic questions remain regarding the thermohaline circulation, for example, surrounding its overall strength and stability. Similarly, basic questions remain regarding the transient adjustment and internal variability of the ocean circulation.

Download or read book On the Role of Wind Driven Ocean Dynamics in Tropical Atlantic Variability written by Meyre Pereira Da Silva and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The response of the tropical Atlantic Ocean to wind stress forcing on seasonal and interannual time scales is examined using an ocean data assimilation product from the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL), and an ocean general circulation model which incorporates a three dimensional flux correction technique to correct biases of the mean state of the ocean. On a seasonal time scale, we investigated the impact of the annual migration of the ITCZ on the exchange pathways of the northern tropical Atlantic. The results indicate that seasonal variation of the zonal slope of the thermal ridge along the boundary between the north equatorial countercurrent and north equatorial current in response to changes in the ITCZ controls, to a large extent, the amount of water participating in the equatorial circulation. These changes can be explained in terms of a simple dynamical model where local Ekman pumping dominates thermocline variation in the western part of the basin, and Rossby wave adjustment comes into play in the eastern basin. On an interannual time scale, we examined the upper heat budget of the equatorial Atlantic in order to identify the key mechanisms by which wind-driven ocean dynamics control SST variability during the onset and peak phases of the Atlantic zonal mode. It is found that, in contrast with Pacific ENSO, both Bjerknes and Ekman feedbacks act together to force the zonal mode, although their relative importance and dominance depend on season and location.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An overview of the advances made in the last decade and a half in this field. Based on an advanced graduate level course, the book represents fundamental insights into the structure of the physical theory of the large-scale dynamics of the oceans. The author has maintained throughout a blend of analytical and numerical results so as to achieve as deep a physical understanding of the dynamics of the large-scale circulations as possible. The results of the theories are compared with observations and the success or inadequacies of the theories are highlighted. Topics of particular interest are: theory of the wind-driven circulation, the thermocline, the equatorial circulation and the abyssal circulation. Much of the material - previously scattered throughout the literature - has been collated here for the first time.

Book excerpt: The interaction between ocean circulation and climate change has been an active research frontier in Earth sciences in recent years. Ocean circulation, and its related geophysical fluid dynamical principles, are now taught at graduate level in many Earth and atmospheric science departments. This is the first advanced textbook to discuss both wind-driven and thermohaline-driven processes - two important aspects of large-scale ocean circulation. It provides a concise introduction to the dynamics and thermodynamics of oceanic general circulation. This includes sea water thermodynamics and the energetics of the ocean circulation; an exhaustive theory of wind-driven circulation; thermohaline circulation with discussions on water mass formation/erosion, deep circulation, and the hydrological cycle; and interactions between wind-driven and thermohaline circulation. Highly illustrated to help the reader establish a clear mental picture of the physical principles involved, the book is invaluable for advanced courses in ocean circulation and as a reference for oceanographers and Earth scientists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents a survey of our state of knowledge of the physical and dynamical processes involved in the Asian monsoon. Although traditionally the main emphasis has been on the study of the atmospheric component, it has long been known that the oceans play a vitally important part in determining the occurrence of this spectacular seasonal event. A scientific study of this phenomenon involves a detailed investigation of the dynamical processes which occur in both the atmosphere and the ocean, on timescales on up to at least a year and on spatial scales from a few hundred kilometres or so up to that of the global atmospheric and oceanic circulations. The editors present a coherent survey of each of the meteorological, oceanographic and hydrological aspects and of their implications for weather forecasting and flood prediction. Monsoon Dynamics is a timely survey of a dramatic meteorological phenomenon which will interest meteorologists, climatologists and geophysicists.

Download or read book Wind Driven Ocean Modeling and Ocean Model Development written by Alan J. Wallcraft and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Numerical simulations were performed with a 0.2 deg, two layer, free surface, primitive equation, ocean circulation model of the Gulf of Mexico with a realistic bottom topography and coastline. As in previous simulations, with idealized bottom topography and coastline, realistic Loop Current behavior could be obtained without wind forcing and with constant inflow through the Yucatan Straits. However, simulations with both wind and port forcing showed significantly more variation than those with port forcing alone. A similiar two layer model was set up for a North Atlantic region, from 20N, 82W to 48N, 30W, on a 0.25 by 0.2 deg grid. A 'Black Box' multigrid package was prepared for solving finite difference Helmholtz's equations with staggered grid Neumann boundary conditions in nonrectangular regions. In semi-implicit free surface primitive equation ocean models, it is competitive with other powerful iterative methods but slower than the direct Capacitance Matrix Technique. Several wind stress data sets were prepared for use in ocean models, based on global analysis products from FNOC and NMC, regional analysis products from FNOC, and ship observations. These data sets have been used to drive ocean circulation model of the World Ocean, the Indian Ocean, the North Atlantic, and the Western Mediterranean Sea. Keywords: Loop Current; Helmholtz solver; Multigrid method; Multilinear regression; and Wind stresses.

Book excerpt: Assorted studies have been conducted with buoyancy driven flow of a rotating fluid. The results have numerous applications to physical oceanography. Studies of convection were initiated in 1990 with observations of motion driven by surface cooling over a limited area in a rotating fluid (Whitehead 1991). The subsequent studies were then split into two separate experiments involving convection in the two types of configurations which are likely to produce the very coldest water in the oceans, one being over a continental shelf (Whitehead, 1993 and Whitehead and Kimura 1994) and the other being with deep convection in a stratified rotating fluid (with Whitehead Marshall and Hufford 1996). In all these studies, algebraic formulae have been isolated which express the rates of buoyancy flux, the associated density difference of the cooled water, and the accompanying velocity and length scales. Such formulae were tested by the experiments over as wide a range of variables as possible, and always in a range of importance to convection in the ocean. The results give theoretical constraints (backed by physical laboratory evidence) concerning the expected rates of dense water formation. They are useful in planning field experiments and testing oceanic observations of actual dense water accumulation.

This book was released on 2012-12-12 with total page 638 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With major implications for applied physics, engineering, and the natural and social sciences, the rapidly growing area of environmental fluid dynamics focuses on the interactions of human activities, environment, and fluid motion. A landmark for the field, the two-volume Handbook of Environmental Fluid Dynamics presents the basic principles, fundamental flow processes, modeling techniques, and measurement methods used in the study of environmental motions. It also offers critical discussions of environmental sustainability related to engineering. The handbook features 81 chapters written by 135 renowned researchers from around the world. Covering environmental, policy, biological, and chemical aspects, it tackles important cross-disciplinary topics such as sustainability, ecology, pollution, micrometeorology, and limnology. Volume One: Overview and Fundamentals provides a comprehensive overview of the basic principles. It starts with general topics that emphasize the relevance of environmental fluid dynamics research in society, public policy, infrastructure, quality of life, security, and the law. It then discusses established and emerging focus areas. The volume also examines the sub-mesoscale flow processes and phenomena that form the building blocks of environmental motions, with emphasis on turbulent motions and their role in heat, momentum, and species transport. As communities face existential challenges posed by climate change, rapid urbanization, and scarcity of water and energy, the study of environmental fluid dynamics becomes increasingly relevant. This volume is a valuable resource for students, researchers, and policymakers working to better understand the fundamentals of environmental motions and how they affect and are influenced by anthropogenic activities.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book which is the outcome of a NATO-Advanced Study Institute on Mod elling the Ocean Circulation and Geochemical Tracer Transport is concerned with using models to infer the ocean circulation. Understanding our climate is one of the major problems of the late twentieth century. The possible climatic changes resulting from the rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide and other trace gases are of primary interest and the ocean pla. ys a ma. jor role in determining the magnitude, temporal evolution and regional distribution of those changes. Because of the poor observational basis the ocean general circulation is not well understood. The World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) which is now underway is an attempt to improve our knowledge of ocean dynamics and thermodynamics on global scales relevant to climate change. Despite those efforts, the oceanic data base is likely to remain scarce and it is crucial to use appropriate methods in order to extract the maximum amount of information from observations. The book contains a thorough analysis of methods to combine data of val'ious types with dynamical concepts, and to assimilate data directly into ocean models. The properties of geocl;temical tracers such as HC, He, Tritium and Freons and how they may be used to impose integral constraints on the ocean circulation are discussed.
