The time-averaged circulation of the north Pacific Ocean : an analysis based on inverse methods

Creator:

Zaron, Edward D.

Abstract:

The time-averaged velocity field in the North Pacific was estimated in two sets of inverse calculations. The planetary geostrophic equations were the basis for dynamical models of the flow in each case. The inverse estimates of the circulation were obtained by minimizing a positive-definite cost function, which measured the inconsistency...

....................................... 161 The Time-Averaged Circulation of the North Pacific Ocean: An Analysis Based on Inverse Methods
Numerical and assimilative studies of the equatorial Pacific cold tongue

Creator:

Perez, Renellys Christine

Abstract:

Numerical model and assimilation experiments were conducted in the tropical Pacific Ocean to obtain a better understanding of the processes that control the cold tongue surface mixed layer temperature balance during August 1999 to July 2004. The numerical model was first applied to test two hypotheses (asymmetric background currents and...
