On the pathways of the return flow of the meridional overturning circulation in the tropical Atlantic
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
A numerical model of the tropical Atlantic ocean is used to investigate the upper layer pathways of the Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC) in the tropical Atlantic. The main focus of this thesis is on those parts of ...
Dynamics of global ocean heat transport variability
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
A state-of-the-art, high-resolution ocean general circulation model is used to estimate the time-dependent global ocean heat transport and investigate its dynamics. The north-south heat transport is the prime manifestation ...
Shelf currents, ice and wind : a numerical modeling study
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
In this thesis, the effects of sea ice, downwelling favorable winds and barotropic background currents on shelf fronts are examined using numerical models. The models are configured with the characteristics of the East ...
