Download or read book Ocean Dynamics written by Dirk Olbers and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-04-27 with total page 717 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ocean Dynamics’ is a concise introduction to the fundamentals of fluid mechanics, non-equilibrium thermodynamics and the common approximations for geophysical fluid dynamics, presenting a comprehensive approach to large-scale ocean circulation theory. The book is written on the physical and mathematical level of graduate students in theoretical courses of physical oceanography, meteorology and environmental physics. An extensive bibliography and index, extensive side notes and recommendations for further reading, and a comparison with the specific atmospheric physics where applicable, makes this volume also a useful reading for researchers. Each of the four parts of the book – fundamental laws, common approximations, ocean waves, oceanic turbulence and eddies, and selected aspects of ocean dynamics – starts with elementary considerations, blending then classical topics with more advanced developments of fluid mechanics and theoretical oceanography. The last part covers the theory of the global wind-driven circulation in homogeneous and stratified regimes, the circulation and overturning in the Southern Ocean, and the global meridional overturning and thermohaline-driven circulation. Emphasis is placed on simple physical models rather than access to extensive numerical results, enabling students to understand and reproduce the complex theory mostly by analytical means. All equations and models are derived in detail and illustrated by numerous figures. The appendix provides short excursions into the mathematical background, such as vector analysis, statistics, and differential equations

Download or read book Antarctic Sea Ice Variability in the Southern Ocean Climate System written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-04-24 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sea ice surrounding Antarctica has increased in extent and concentration from the late 1970s, when satellite-based measurements began, until 2015. Although this increasing trend is modest, it is surprising given the overall warming of the global climate and the region. Indeed, climate models, which incorporate our best understanding of the processes affecting the region, generally simulate a decrease in sea ice. Moreover, sea ice in the Arctic has exhibited pronounced declines over the same period, consistent with global climate model simulations. For these reasons, the behavior of Antarctic sea ice has presented a conundrum for global climate change science. The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine held a workshop in January 2016, to bring together scientists with different sets of expertise and perspectives to further explore potential mechanisms driving the evolution of recent Antarctic sea ice variability and to discuss ways to advance understanding of Antarctic sea ice and its relationship to the broader ocean-climate system. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.

Download or read book Ocean Mixing written by Michael Meredith and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2021-09-16 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ocean Mixing: Drivers, Mechanisms and Impacts presents a broad panorama of one of the most rapidly-developing areas of marine science. It highlights the state-of-the-art concerning knowledge of the causes of ocean mixing, and a perspective on the implications for ocean circulation, climate, biogeochemistry and the marine ecosystem. This edited volume places a particular emphasis on elucidating the key future questions relating to ocean mixing, and emerging ideas and activities to address them, including innovative technology developments and advances in methodology. Ocean Mixing is a key reference for those entering the field, and for those seeking a comprehensive overview of how the key current issues are being addressed and what the priorities for future research are. Each chapter is written by established leaders in ocean mixing research; the volume is thus suitable for those seeking specific detailed information on sub-topics, as well as those seeking a broad synopsis of current understanding. It provides useful ammunition for those pursuing funding for specific future research campaigns, by being an authoritative source concerning key scientific goals in the short, medium and long term. Additionally, the chapters contain bespoke and informative graphics that can be used in teaching and science communication to convey the complex concepts and phenomena in easily accessible ways. - Presents a coherent overview of the state-of-the-art research concerning ocean mixing - Provides an in-depth discussion of how ocean mixing impacts all scales of the planetary system - Includes elucidation of the grand challenges in ocean mixing, and how they might be addressed

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) and the Southern Ocean meridional overturning circulation are dynamically linked through interactions between the mean flow, eddies, and mixing by breaking internal lee waves over rough topography. However, quantifying the time-mean and the spatio-temporal variability of the ACC transport, eddy fluxes, and small-scale mixing remains challenging as observations are scarce. This thesis work analyzes the mean eddy heat flux, finescale internal-wave-driven turbulence, and transport of the ACC in Drake Passage, and it examines the possible physical processes driving the spatial and temporal variability of these quantities. First, the eddy heat flux as a function of ACC streamlines is quantified using a unique 20-year time series of upper ocean temperature and velocity transects with unprecedented horizontal resolution. Using the time-varying streamlines, the across-ACC eddy heat flux is maximum poleward in the south flank of the Subantarctic Front and it reduces towards the south, becoming statistically insignificant in the Polar Front. These results indicate heat convergence south of the Subantarctic Front. Second, a unique four-year time series of stratification and near-bottom currents, and finestructure density and velocity profiles were employed to estimate the expected linear lee-wave energy and infer turbulent dissipation due to breaking internal waves. In contrast to idealized numerical predictions of 50% local dissipation of lee-wave energy, less than 10% dissipated locally regardless of the abyssal hill topographic representation. Third, the high-spatial-resolution time series of temperature, salinity, and velocity are used to identify trends in the Drake Passage total and geostrophic transport in the upper kilometer. We uniquely found that the Subantarctic Front and Polar Front, the two major ACC fronts, have significantly accelerated during the last decade whereas the area between these fronts and between the Polar Front and the Southern ACC Front has decelerated. These opposite trends compensate such that no significant trend is discernible in the total and geostrophic transport integrated across Drake Passage. We suggest the acceleration of the fronts is driven by an increase in the eddy activity in between the fronts.
