Seasonal variation of eddy kinetic energy of the North Pacific Subtropical Countercurrent simulated by an eddy-resolving OGCM
[1] The seasonal variation of eddy kinetic energy (EKE) of the North Pacific Subtropical Countercurrent (STCC) was investigated by analyzing the data from an eddy-resolving OGCM with the horizontal resolution 1/12 in comparison with satellite altimetry data. Although the annual cycle of simulated EKE of the whole STCC domain showed agreement with satellite data, with a maximum in spring and a m...
متن کاملMode water ventilation and subtropical countercurrent over the North Pacific in CMIP5 simulations and future projections
[1] Seventeen coupled general circulation models from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) are analyzed to assess the dynamics and variability of the North Pacific Subtropical Countercurrent (STCC). Consistent with observations, the STCC is anchored by mode water to the north. For the present climate, the STCC tends to be stronger in models than in observations because of t...
متن کاملThe eastward subtropical countercurrent on isopycnal surface in the western North Pacific
The monthly circulations on isopycnal surface in the western North Pacific are calculated based on the Navy’s Generalized Digital Environmental Model climatological temperature and salinity data on a 1/2° × 1/2° grid using a P-vector method. The eastward Subtropical Countercurrent (STCC) in the central subtropical gyre has been studied with emphasis on its spatial distribution, vertical structu...

متن کاملNorthwest Pacific subtropical countercurrent on isopycnal surface in summer
[1] A three-dimensional absolute velocity field on the isopycnal surface in the northwest Pacific subtropical region in the summer is calculated from the Navy’s Generalized Digital Environmental Model (GDEM) climatological temperature and salinity data on a 0.5 0.5 grid using the P-vector method. GDEM for the area was built from historical (1930–1997) temperature and salinity profiles. The basi...
