Sentences with phrase «persistent ocean eddies»

Their work, which Hassanzadeh will present at the annual meeting of the American Physical Society's Division of Fluid Dynamics in Pittsburgh on November 25, also provides insight into persistent ocean eddies and vortices that contribute to star and planet formation.

Not exact matches

Further, in areas of the ocean with persistent or frequent eddies, Qiu and co-authors from the Japan Meteorological Agency, Caltech and NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory determined that sea level can reliably be used to calculate circulation at a fairly high resolution, that is, at fairly small length scales (resolution of 10 miles).

The US CLIVAR Eastern Tropical Oceans Synthesis (ETOS) Working Group was formed to promote collaboration in the southeast oceanic basins, coordinate a model assessment of surface flux errors for the equatorial Atlantic, identify recent model improvements and common and persistent model errors, and provide recommendations of cases for community simulation and evaluation using eddy - permitting ocean models.

Expand the use of eddy - resolving models, particularly in regional / process studies designed to: i) test the robustness of AMOC variability mechanisms identified in coarser GCMs or idealized models; ii) address the origins of persistent model bias in the North Atlantic region (e.g., Gulf Stream separation and the North Atlantic Current path); and iii) assess the role of ocean turbulence in AMOC variability.
