  • Numerical studies of mesoscale eddies using quasigeostrophic and primitive equation ocean models

    Creator:
    Batteen, Mary L.
    Abstract:
    The dynamical role of mesoscale eddies in the ocean general circulation is investigated using eddy-resolving quasigeostrophic (QG) and primitive equation (FE) models which are parametrically identical. The results of both QG and FE numerical experiments in mid-latitude, rectangular ocean basins are systematically intercompared and extensively analyzed in terms of basic...

  • A study of El Niño/southern oscillation : numerical experiments and data analysis

    Creator:
    Ahn, Joong Bae
    Abstract:
    For the purpose of investigating the fundamental nature of the interannual oscillation observed in the tropical Pacific in conjunction with El Nino/Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the Comprehensive Ocean Atmosphere Data Set was analyzed. Based upon this analysis, an "intermediate" tropical atmosphere-ocean coupled model was developed. For reason of their particular importance...

  • Simulation of tropical pacific circulation anomalies with linear atmosphere and ocean models

    Creator:
    Dixit, Sanjay
    Abstract:
    A simple atmosphere and ocean model of relevance to El Nino and Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is discussed. Both the atmosphere and ocean models are two layer, three dimensional, linear and baroclinic, and generally follow the Oregon State University coupled general circulation model. However, the parameterization differs considerably from previous work...
