Modeling ocean deep convection

Ocean Modelling, 2004
Abstract The goal of this study is to assess models for Deep Convection with special emphasis on their use in coarse resolution ocean general circulation models . A model for deep convection must contain both vertical transport and lateral advection by mesoscale eddies generated by baroclinic instabilities.

Restratification after Deep Convection

Journal of Physical Oceanography, 1997
Abstract An important, yet poorly understood, aspect of the water mass transformation process in the ocean is the manner in which the convected fluid, once formed, is accommodated and drawn into the general circulation. Following “violent mixing” in the open ocean that creates a deep homogenous body of fluid, restratification of the surface (∼500 m ...

Monitoring deep convection and convective overshooting with METEOSAT

Advances in Space Research, 1997
Abstract Simultaneous observations of deep convective clouds in the infrared window (IR: 10.5 – 12.5 μm) and the water vapour absorption band (WV: 5.7 – 7.1 μm) from METEOSAT reveal that the equivalent brightness temperature in the WV channel can be larger than in the IR channel by as much as 6 – 8 K.

Convection in deep vertically shaken particle beds. III. Convection mechanisms

Physics of Fluids, 2008
Convection in a deep vertically vibrated two-dimensional cell of granular material occurs in the form of counter-rotating cells that move material from the walls to the center of the channel and back again. At least for deep beds, where for much of the cycle, particles are in long duration contact with their neighbors, convection only appears for a ...

Chapter 5.5 Deep convection

2001
Publisher Summary This chapter reviews deep convection with emphasis on advances made during the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) observing period. It describes some features of plumes, the convective mixing agents. The chapter also discusses two phenomena's associated with the convection.
