On the Role of Interior Mixing and Air-Sea Fluxes in Determining the Stratification and Circulation of the Oceans
(American Meteorological Society, 1986)
The problem of determining the (eastern boundary) basic stratification and the buoyancy-driven circulation of the oceans is addressed. A global integral constraint relating the interior stratification and the air-sea heat ...
Calculating the Time-Mean Oceanic General Circulation and Mixing Coefficients from Hydrographic Data
(American Meteorological Society, 1988)
The relation between the circulation calculated from averaged hydrographic data (such as the Levitus data), and the actual time average circulation is examined using a CTD dataset which provides both time and space coverage ...
An Optimal-Control/Adjoint-Equations Approach to Studying the Oceanic General Circulation
(American Meteorological Society, 1989)
An efficient procedure is presented for analyzing oceanographic observations with the aid of a general circulation model. Poorly known model parameters, such as eddy-mixing coefficients, surface forcing and tracer boundary ...
Sr Isotopic Variations in Upper Proterozoic carbonates from Svalbard and East Greenland
(Elsevier, 1989)
We report initial Sr(87)/Sr(86) values from an Upper Proterozoic carbonate succession from Svalbard and East Greenland. This succession, now tectonically separated into three sequences, is thick, relatively continuous, ...
The Mediterranean Outflow as an Example of a Deep Buoyancy-Driven Flow
(American Geophysical Union, 1987)
Motivated by the Mediterranean outflow into the North Atlantic, a simple diffusive layer model of a deep buoyancy-driven circulation driven by a middepth inflow from the eastern boundary is developed. Cross-interfacial ...
Circulation in the Eastern Levantine Basin Determined by Inverse Methods
(American Meteorological Society, 1988)
A finite difference linear inverse model is applied to hydrographic data from six summer and fall cruises in a small area (250 × 200 km) of the eastern Mediterranean sea. The temperature and salinity equations are used to ...
