Interannual variations in low potential vorticity water and the subtropical countercurrent in an eddy-resolving OGCM
Interannual-to-decadal variations in the subtropical countercurrent (STCC) and low-potential vorticity (PV) water and their relations in the North Pacific Ocean are investigated based on a 60-year-long hindcast integration of an eddy-resolving ocean general circulation model. The interdecadal intensification of STCC is associated with negative PV anomalies to the north on isopycnals beneath, by...
متن کاملEddy Mixing of Potential Vorticity versus Thickness in an Isopycnic Ocean Model
Parameterizations of the eddy-induced velocity that advects tracers in addition to the Eulerian mean flow are traditionally expressed as a downgradient Fickian diffusion of either isopycnal layer thickness or large-scale potential vorticity (PV). There is an ongoing debate on which of the two closures is better and how the spatial dependence of the eddy diffusivity should look like. To increase...

nowadays in trade and economic issues, prediction is proposed as the most important branch of science. existence of effective variables, caused various sectors of the economic and business executives to prefer having mechanisms which can be used in their decisions. in recent years, several advances have led to various challenges in the science of forecasting. economical managers in various fi...
A Coherent vorticity preserving eddy-viscosity correction for Large-Eddy Simulation
This paper introduces a new approach to Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) where subgrid-scale (SGS) dissipation is applied proportionally to the degree of local spectral broadening, hence mitigated or deactivated in regions dominated by large-scale and/or laminar vortical motion. The proposed coherentvorticity preserving (CvP) LES methodology is based on the evaluation of the ratio of the test-filter...
متن کاملEddy Amplitudes in Baroclinic Turbulence Driven by Nonzonal Mean Flow: Shear Dispersion of Potential Vorticity
As in the midlatitude atmosphere, midocean eddies are primarily generated by baroclinically unstable mean currents. In contrast to the atmosphere, however, oceanic currents are significantly nonzonal. Even weak nonzonal currents are linearly unstable since does not suppress growing meridional waves. Theories for the nonlinear equilibration of baroclinic instability, and hence theories for the a...
