Ekman Transport in Balanced Currents with Curvature [PDF]
Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2017 AbstractEkman transport, the horizontal mass transport associated with a wind stress applied on the ocean surface, is modified by the vorticity of ocean currents, leading to what has been termed the nonlinear Ekman transport. This article extends earlier work on this topic by deriving solutions for the nonlinear Ekman transport valid in currents with ...

A Bound on Ekman Pumping [PDF]
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2020 Momentum transport by boundary layer turbulence causes a weak synoptic‐scale vertical motion. The classical textbook solution for the strength of this Ekman pumping depends on the curl of the surface momentum flux.

On the seasonal cycles and variability of Florida Straits, Ekman and Sverdrup transports at 26° N in the Atlantic Ocean [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2010 Since April 2004 the RAPID array has made continuous measurements of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) at 26° N. Two key components of this system are Ekman transport zonally integrated across 26° N and western ...

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

Rigorous bounds on the heat transport of rotating convection with Ekman pumping [PDF]
Journal of Mathematical Physics, 2020 We establish rigorous upper bounds on the time-averaged heat transport for a model of rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection between no-slip boundaries at infinite Prandtl numbers and with Ekman pumping. The analysis is based on the asymptotically reduced equations derived for rotationally constrained dynamics with no-slip boundaries, and hence, includes ...

On the meridional ageostrophic transport in the tropical Atlantic [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2017 The meridional Ekman volume, heat, and salt transport across two trans-Atlantic sections near 14.5° N and 11° S were estimated using in situ observations, wind products, and model data. A meridional ageostrophic velocity was obtained as the difference

Ekman-Inertial Instability [PDF]
, 2020 We report on an instability, arising in sub-surface, laterally-sheared geostrophic flows. When the lateral shear of a horizontal flow in geostrophic balance is of opposite sign to the Coriolis parameter, and exceeds it in magnitude, embedded ...
