Effect of a variable eddy transfer coefficient in an eddy-permitting model of the subpolar North Atlantic Ocean
Download2005
The effect of using a variable eddy transfer coefficient for the Gent–McWilliams (GM) parameterization in a (1/3)°-resolution ocean model of the subpolar North Atlantic Ocean is investigated. Results from four experiments with different implementations of this coefficient are compared among...

The Labrador Sea experiences deep convection, a process where the oceans’ surface cools to the point where it may become more dense than the water at depth, promoting sinking and vertical mixing. This mixing can exceed 2000m in depth, producing a large volume of deep water, a crucial component in...

This thesis presents a modified version of the Finite Element Ocean Model (FEOM) developed at Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) for the North Atlantic Ocean. A reasonable North Atlantic Ocean simulation is obtained against observational data sets in a Control simulation...

The influence of high-frequency atmospheric forcing on the circulation and deep convection of the Labrador Sea
Download2015
Holdsworth, Amber M., Myers, Paul G.
The influence of high-frequency atmospheric forcing on the circulation of the North Atlantic Ocean with emphasis on the deep convection of the Labrador Sea was investigated by comparing simulations of a coupled ocean–ice model with hourly atmospheric data to simulations in which the...
