Impact of Ekman Pumping on the Meridional Coherence of the AMOC

Geophysical Research Letters
The effect of wind‐induced vertical velocity on the meridional coherence of Atlantic meridional overtuning circulation (AMOC) is examined using theory, observations, and a numerical model.

The post‐2002 global surface warming slowdown caused by the subtropical Southern Ocean heating acceleration

Geophysical Research Letters, 2017
The warming rate of global mean surface temperature slowed down during 1998–2012. Previous studies pointed out role of increasing ocean heat uptake during this global warming slowdown, but its mechanism remains under discussion. Our numerical simulations,

Seasonal variability of extratropical North Pacific Wind stress, Ekman Pumping and Sverdrup Transport [PDF]

, 2001
The annual cycle of the North Pacific wind stress, Ekman pumping and Sverdrup transport is investigated by means of empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis techniques. Fifty-two years of National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP, formerly "

Seasonal variability of the Ekman transport and pumping in the upwelling system off central-northern Chile (~30 degrees S) based on a high-resolution atmospheric regional model (WRF) [PDF]

, 2016
Two physical mechanisms can contribute to coastal upwelling in eastern boundary current systems: offshore Ekman transport due to the predominant alongshore wind stress and Ekman pumping due to the cyclonic wind stress curl, mainly caused by the abrupt ...

Cumulative Effect of Synoptic‐Scale Storms on Decadal Mixed‐Layer Temperature Variability in the Mid‐Latitude North Pacific

Geophysical Research Letters
Decadal variability of mixed‐layer temperature (Tm) in the mid‐latitude North Pacific plays a key role in air–sea interactions and regional climate. While previous studies have emphasized the role of large‐scale climate modes in this variability, the ...

Bottom Ekman transport drives transverse flows to shape contourite moat and drift systems [PDF]

Despite six decades of investigation into deepwater sedimentary systems, the mechanisms that generate transverse flows to transfer sediments across contourite channel (moat) and drift systems have remained unclear.

Cross-shore transport variability in the California Current: Ekman upwelling vs. eddy dynamics [PDF]

The low-frequency dynamics of coastal upwelling and cross-shelf transport in the Central and Southern California Current System (CCS) are investigated using the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) over the period 1965-2008.
