The effects of solar radiation diurnal cycle on intraseasonal mixed layer variability in the tropical Indian Ocean during boreal wintertime Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) events are examined using the HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model. Two parallel experiments, the main run and the experimental run, are performed for the period of 2005–2011 with...
A global, multi-level, wave-mean flow model based on an
approximate version of the primitive equations is developed to
investigate the development of a baroclinic wave field initially
confined to a single zonal wavenumber. The effects of physical
processes (surface drag and thermal damping) and internal diffusion
on the evolution have...
