Journal ArticleDOI
Tide-surge interaction and its role in the distribution of surge residuals in the North Sea
Kevin Horsburgh,Chris Wilson +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used data from five tide gauges, spaced equally along the North Sea coastline around the UK, to show that the mode of peak residual occurrence is everywhere 3 to 5 hours before the nearest high water.
Journal ArticleDOI
A sea change in our view of overturning in the subpolar North Atlantic
M. S. Lozier,Feili Li,Sheldon Bacon,Frank Bahr,Amy S. Bower,Stuart A. Cunningham,M. F. de Jong,L. de Steur,Brad deYoung,Jürgen Fischer,Stefan F. Gary,Blair J. W. Greenan,Naomi P.

Williams,Chris Wilson,Jiayan Yang,Igor Yashayaev,Jian Zhao +38 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the conversion of warm, salty, shallow Atlantic waters into colder, fresher, deep waters that move southward in the Irminger and Iceland basins is largely responsible for overturning and its variability in the subpolar basin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Overturning in the Subpolar North Atlantic Program: A New International Ocean Observing System
M. Susan Lozier,Sheldon Bacon,Amy S. Bower,Stuart A. Cunningham,M. Femke de Jong,Laura de Steur,Brad deYoung,Juergen Fischer,Stefan F. Gary,Blair J. W. Greenan,Patrick Heimbach,Naomi P.

Pickart,Helen Pillar,Fiammetta Straneo,Virginie Thierry,Robert A. Weller,Richard G. Williams,Chris Wilson,Jiayan Yang,Jian Zhao,Jan D. Zika +32 more
TL;DR: Overturning in the Subpolar North Atlantic (OSNAP) as discussed by the authors is a new ocean observing system to understand the link between the meridional overturning circulation and deep water formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Eddy Heat Flux in the Southern Ocean: Response to Variable Wind Forcing
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of time-dependent eddy variability in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) in influencing warming of the Southern Ocean is assessed, and an eddy-resolving quasigeostrophic model of the wind-driven circulation is used, and the response of circumpolar transport, eddy kinetic energy, and eddy heat transport to changes in winds is quantified.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is one of the major sources of energy and carbon flux in the North Atlantic Ocean as mentioned in this paper, and it has been extensively studied in the literature.
