Eddy-mean-flow interaction in a barotropic ocean model
The role of eddies in the maintenance of idealized, antisymmetrically forced double gyres is studied using a barotropic ocean circulation model. A diagnosis in terms of q , the quasi-conserved absolute vorticity , enables an understanding of the effect of the eddies on the time-mean flow. The unstable model Gulf Stream, partitioning counter-rotating gyres, is the confluence region where q conto...
متن کاملA Description of Local and Nonlocal Eddy–Mean Flow Interaction in a Global Eddy-Permitting State Estimate
The assumption that local baroclinic instability dominates eddy–mean flow interactions is tested on a global scale using a dynamically consistent eddy-permitting state estimate. Interactions are divided into local and nonlocal. If all the energy released from themean flow through eddy–mean flow interaction is used to support eddy growth in the same region, or if all the energy released from edd...

متن کاملBasinwide Integrated Volume Transports in an Eddy-Filled Ocean
The temporal evolution of the strength of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) in the subtropical North Atlantic is affected by both remotely forced, basin-scale meridionally coherent, climaterelevant transport anomalies, such as changes in high-latitude deep water formation rates, and locally forced transport anomalies, such as eddies or Rossby waves, possibly associated with...
متن کاملEddy SPIN and the Eddy Framework
The formal verification of software using tools that explore the entire state space is struggling with the difficulty of space state explosion; even relatively simple software may be composed of billions or more states. We have taken the novel approach with this project to take advantage of BOTH distributed computing (utilizing multi-machine clusters) and parallel processing (as in SMP shared c...
