Journal ArticleDOI
Characterizing the chaotic nature of ocean ventilation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors characterise the chaotic nature of ventilation pathways according to a non-dimensional "filamentation number", which estimates the reduction in filament width of a ventilated fluid parcel due to mesoscale strain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding the Structure of the Subtropical Thermocline
Jeff A. Polton,David P. Marshall +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a similarity balance for the internal thermocline, with additional terms representing friction in the western boundary current and convection in the mixed layer, in a planetary geostrophic ocean model.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Idealised Model Study of Eddy Energetics in the Western Boundary 'Graveyard'
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the energetics of the eddy-western boundary interaction using an idealised MIT ocean circulation model with a spatially variable grid resolution and find significant dissipation of incident eddy energy at the western boundary, regardless of whether the model topography at the boundary is smooth or rough.
Journal ArticleDOI
Small and mesoscale processes and their impact on the large scale:an introduction
TL;DR: The role of small and mesoscale processes on the large-scale structure and circulation of the oceans is discussed in this article, with a focus on internal wave generation, flow-topography interaction and small-scale processes involved in ocean mixing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impacts of Atmospheric Reanalysis Uncertainty on Atlantic Overturning Estimates at 25°N
TL;DR: The authors used atmospheric reanalyses to force numerical ocean models, but despite large discrepancies reported between different products, the impact of reanalysis uncertainty on the siamese ocean model was not analyzed.
