    Passive tracers in a general circulation model of the Southern Ocean (1999)
    Springer
    Annales geophysicae 17 (1999), S. 971-982 
    Details
    ISSN: 0992-7689
    Keywords: Oceanography: general (numerical modeling; water masses) ; Oceanography: physical (general circulation)

    Topics: Geosciences , Physics
    Notes: Abstract Passive tracers are used in an off-line version of the United Kingdom Fine Resolution Antarctic Model (FRAM) to highlight features of the circulation and provide information on the inter-ocean exchange of water masses. The use of passive tracers allows a picture to be built up of the deep circulation which is not readily apparent from examination of the veloCity or density fields. Comparison of observations with FRAM results gives good agreement for many features of the Southern Ocean circulation. Tracer distributions are consistent with the concept of a global “conveyor belt” with a return path via the Agulhas retroflection region for the replenishment of North Atlantic Deep Water.

    Sensitivity to open boundary forcing in a fine-resolution model of the Iberian shelf-slope region (1997)
    Springer
    Annales geophysicae 15 (1997), S. 113-123 
    Details
    ISSN: 0992-7689
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Geosciences , Physics
    Notes: Abstract A fine-resolution primitive equation numerical model is constructed for the Iberian continental shelf and slope region, with open boundaries to the north, south and west. The model is forced by climatological wind fields and relaxed at the surface to climatological temperature and salinity fields. A series of numerical experiments is conducted to investigate the influence of the open boundary conditions. The numerical results include coastal upwelling in summer and a poleward current in winter. The effects of advection of Mediterranean Water and eastern North Atlantic Central Water feature in the circulation. Qualitative comparisons are made with observations.
