Ocean circulationAbstract
The success of this summer's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Program owes much to
Myrl Hendershott's excellent and engaging survey of the Oceans General Circulation,
including recent developments In the Theory of Recirculation Gyres and Thermocline
Ventilation.

Adaptive error estimation in linearized ocean general circulation models
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1999-06)Data assimilation methods, such as the Kalman filter, are routinely used in oceanography. The statistics of the model and measurement errors need to be specified a priori. In this study we address the problem of estimating ... -
Using the Helmholtz decomposition to define the Indian Ocean meridional overturning streamfunction
(American Meteorological Society, 2020-03-02)The zonally integrated flow in a basin can be separated into the divergent/nondivergent parts, and a uniquely defined meridional overturning circulation (MOC) can be calculated. For a basin with significant volume exchange ... -
Investigating the eddy diffusivity concept in the coastal ocean
(American Meteorological Society, 2016-06-29)This paper aims to test the validity, utility, and limitations of the lateral eddy diffusivity concept in a coastal environment through analyzing data from coupled drifter and dye releases within the footprint of a ...
