Deep Convection in the Ocean

1997
Abstract : Our long-term objective is to understand how deep convection, induced by strong buoyancy forcing at the ocean surface, influences the ocean circulation through convective plumes and geostrophic eddies.

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.

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.

Steady Convection in Deep Compressible Layers

Astrophysics and Space Science, 1998
It is known from the literature that the standard mixing-length model of convection traditionally used in astrophysics is based on an analogy with the kinetic theory of gases. Simulations of steady convection do not find eddies of order of local scale height, but rather single cells extending over several scale heights from top to bottom of the layer ...

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 ...
