Download or read book On Steady Wind driven Ocean Currents in a Stratified Model of Two Moving Layers written by Worth D. Nowlin and published by . This book was released on 1965 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considered are steady, wind-driven currents in a two-layer model ocean, confined within a rectangular basin with a horizontal sea bed. The horizontal velocities are assumed independent of elevation within each layer of this finite difference approximation to the continuously stratified real ocean. Neglecting nonlinear field accelerations, a frictional model for the entire basin is formulated which allows for vertical, but not horizontal, transfer of horizontal momentum due to turbulence. The exchange of horizontal momentum between layers and to the sea bed is provided through the assumption of interlayer and bottom stresses, which are assumed proportional to the vertical contrast of horizontal velocity across the appropriate interface. The constants of proportionality, which are estimated from considerations of the observed circulation, play decisive roles in controlling the circulation patterns within each layer and the internal dissipation of energy from the steady organized flow. The solution, obtained for a purely zonal wind stress which varies latitudinally as a cosine, depicts an anticyclonic circulation within the lower layer which is intensified more to the west than is the anticyclonic gyre within the upper layer. Numerical calculations were performed for a range of physical parameters. ...

Download or read book Ocean Circulation Theory written by Joseph Pedlosky and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An overview of the advances made in the last decade and a half in this field. Based on an advanced graduate level course, the book represents fundamental insights into the structure of the physical theory of the large-scale dynamics of the oceans. The author has maintained throughout a blend of analytical and numerical results so as to achieve as deep a physical understanding of the dynamics of the large-scale circulations as possible. The results of the theories are compared with observations and the success or inadequacies of the theories are highlighted. Topics of particular interest are: theory of the wind-driven circulation, the thermocline, the equatorial circulation and the abyssal circulation. Much of the material - previously scattered throughout the literature - has been collated here for the first time.
Download or read book Atmosphere Ocean and Climate Dynamics written by John Marshall and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 1978-11-16 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in atmospheric, oceanic, and climate science, Atmosphere, Ocean and Climate Dynamics is an introductory textbook on the circulations of the atmosphere and ocean and their interaction, with an emphasis on global scales. It will give students a good grasp of what the atmosphere and oceans look like on the large-scale and why they look that way. The role of the oceans in climate and paleoclimate is also discussed. The combination of observations, theory and accompanying illustrative laboratory experiments sets this text apart by making it accessible to students with no prior training in meteorology or oceanography.* Written at a mathematical level that is appealing for undergraduates andbeginning graduate students* Provides a useful educational tool through a combination of observations andlaboratory demonstrations which can be viewed over the web* Contains instructions on how to reproduce the simple but informativelaboratory experiments* Includes copious problems (with sample answers) to help students learn thematerial.
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

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An essay on the winds and the currents of the ocean" is a scientific essay about the nature of the earth. It is written by William Ferrel, American meteorologist who developed theories which explained the mid-latitude atmospheric circulation cell in detail. This essay contains a proposal of a model by the author, for the Earth's wind circulation in middle latitudes. It saw him become the founder of the subject of geophysical fluid dynamics.
Download or read book Ocean Circulation and Climate written by Sybren S. Drijfhout and published by Elsevier Inc. Chapters. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conceptual models are a vital tool for understanding the processes that maintain the global ocean circulation, both in nature and in complex numerical ocean models. In this chapter we provide a broad overview of our conceptual understanding of the wind-driven circulation, the thermohaline circulation, and their transient behavior. While our conceptual understanding of the time-mean wind-driven circulation is now fairly mature, basic questions remain regarding the thermohaline circulation, for example, surrounding its overall strength and stability. Similarly, basic questions remain regarding the transient adjustment and internal variability of the ocean circulation.
Download or read book Essentials of Atmospheric and Oceanic Dynamics written by Geoffrey K. Vallis and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-24 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a modern, introductory textbook on the dynamics of the atmosphere and ocean, with a healthy dose of geophysical fluid dynamics. It will be invaluable for intermediate to advanced undergraduate and graduate students in meteorology, oceanography, mathematics, and physics. It is unique in taking the reader from very basic concepts to the forefront of research. It also forms an excellent refresher for researchers in atmospheric science and oceanography. It differs from other books at this level in both style and content: as well as very basic material it includes some elementary introductions to more advanced topics. The advanced sections can easily be omitted for a more introductory course, as they are clearly marked in the text. Readers who wish to explore these topics in more detail can refer to this book's parent, Atmospheric and Oceanic Fluid Dynamics: Fundamentals and Large-Scale Circulation, now in its second edition.
