We work with global ocean circulation models to understand issues like the thermal expansion of ocean waters due to global warming or the effect of changing ocean currents on regional sea levels.

We overview problems and prospects in ocean circulation models, with emphasis on certain developments aiming to enhance the physical integrity and flexibility of large - scale models used to study global climate.

The researchers then worked the experimental data into a global ocean circulation model to see how multiple species, competing with each other, responded to rising acidity levels.

Eddy parameterization for coarse resolution ocean circulation models.

(2) J. Zhang has written a parallel sea ice model with a line successive relaxation (LSR) dynamics solver (Zhang and Hibler 1997) and, in collaboration with Dr. D. Menemenlis at JPL, has coupled the model to the MIT general ocean circulation model (MITgcm).

The Modular Ocean Model (MOM) is a three - dimensional ocean circulation model designed primarily for studying the ocean climate system.

Combining turtle movement data with ocean circulation models aids scientists in understanding how juvenile turtles orient themselves in response to a current flow.

These include ocean circulation models and can thus estimate where and how fast the surface warming penetrates into the ocean depths.

Whether ocean circulation models... neither explicitly accounting for the energy input into the system nor providing for spatial variability in the mixing, have any physical relevance under changed climate conditions is at issue.»

The main themes of my research are focused on numerical ocean circulation modelling and its applications, as well as water waves propagation and their interaction with the currents.

Consistent results are found using both a three - dimensional ocean circulation model coupled to an energy balance atmospheric model and with a much simpler ocean box model.

Here we use a general ocean circulation model to test the hypothesis that this relation is due to the reduced sensitivity of seawater density to temperature at low mean temperature; that is, at lower temperatures the surface cooling is not as effective at densifying fresh polar waters and initiating convection.

Ocean circulation models are complex, and the exchange between the atmosphere and the ocean is even more so.

Using an ocean circulation model for the shelf, the authors find that surface temperatures may increase by 0.5 to 2.0 °C, seasonal surface salinity may drop by up to 2 PSS in some areas, and that Haida Eddies will strengthen, as will the Vancouver Island Coastal Current and freshwater discharges into coastal waters.

To better understand the nature of this event, AER scientists Drs. Christopher Piecuch, Rui Ponte, and Christopher Little — along with colleagues from George Mason University and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory — considered an ocean circulation model constrained to most available ocean data.
