Sentences with phrase «studying ocean eddies»

The results are presented at a resolution high enough to enable studying ocean eddies and other narrow current systems, which are overlooked by lower - resolution models.

Not exact matches

Lozier (p. 1507) discusses how recent studies have challenged our view of large - scale ocean circulation as a simple conveyor belt, by revealing a more complex and nuanced system that reflects the effects of ocean eddies and surface atmospheric winds on the structure and variability of the ocean's overturning.

The study was focused on a form of turbulence known as mesoscale eddies, ocean swirls on the scale of tens to hundreds of kilometers across that last anywhere from a month to a year.

A new study has found that turbulent mixing in the deep waters of the Southern Ocean, which has a profound effect on global ocean circulation and climate, varies with the strength of surface eddies — the ocean equivalent of storms in the atmosphere — and possibly also wind spOcean, which has a profound effect on global ocean circulation and climate, varies with the strength of surface eddies — the ocean equivalent of storms in the atmosphere — and possibly also wind spocean circulation and climate, varies with the strength of surface eddies — the ocean equivalent of storms in the atmosphere — and possibly also wind spocean equivalent of storms in the atmosphere — and possibly also wind speeds.

Last year, Hurricane Matthew rapidly intensified from a tropical storm to hurricane status as it moved over the Caribbean Sea in the location where a warm ocean eddy exists, and in close proximity to where these measurements were taken for this study two years prior.

The currents caused by large, swirling eddies at the ocean's surface may reach all the way to the sea floor, a new study suggests.

We were introduced to the methodology and equipment used to study the behaviour and impact of water eddies in the seas and oceans.

The US CLIVAR / OCB Southern Ocean Working Group was formed to identify critical observational targets and develop data / model metrics based on the currently available observational data, both physical and tracer, and the assimilative modeling (re) analyses, and evaluate and develop our understanding of the importance of mesoscale eddies in the heat and carbon uptake and of the response of the Southern Ocean to a changing climate, using high - resolution numerical studies and theory.

A recent study highlights results obtained from an aircraft ocean survey that targeted a large warm core eddy in the eastern Caribbean Sea, where upper ocean measurements are crucial to understanding the complexities of heat and moisture transfer during the passage of tropical cyclones.

The study by Ponte (2012) is referenced for its use of an eddy - resolving ocean state estimate to quantify the substantial variability in temperature and salinity expected in the deep ocean on time scales from months to years.

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.

The advantage of scenario 3 is the near - term broadening of applications of satellite altimetry to include studies of ocean eddies, near - coastal sea level variability, and terrestrial water.

In addition to broadening applications to include measurements of terrestrial water, the synthetic aperture radar - interferometric technology of SWOT will provide much higher resolution measurements for studies of ocean eddies and measurements very near land for coastal applications.
