Meridional Ekman Heat Transport: Estimates from Satellite Data

Journal of Physical Oceanography, 1995
Abstract Analyses of satellite-derived SSM/I winds and AVHRR sea surface temperatures are used to compute weekly estimates of global meridional ocean Ekman heat transport for the 4-year period 1987–1991. The heat transport is consistently poleward throughout the year over the Atlantic and much of the Pacific between 30°S and 30°N and equatorward at ...

Ekman heat transport for slab oceans

Climate Dynamics, 2011
A series of schemes designed to include various representations of the Ekman-driven heat fluxes in slab-ocean models is introduced. They work by computing an Ekman mass flux, then deducing heat fluxes by the surface flow and an opposite deep return flow. The schemes differ by the computation of the return flow temperature: either diagnosed from the SST

Dungeness crab (Cancer magister) recruitment variability and Ekman transport of larvae

2023
Commercial stocks of the Dungeness crab (Cancer magister) fluctuate widely along the Pacific coast of the United States. Previous attempts to explain this variability have focused on the pelagic larval phase and the environmental factors that may affect survival and dispersal of this stage. However, these efforts have been largely unsuccessful because,

Ekman Transport and Zooplankton Concentration in the North Pacific Ocean

Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada, 1967
Annual concentrations of zooplankton off California varied directly, and concentrations in the western Bering Sea varied indirectly with calculated southerly components of Ekman transport in the previous year at 50°N,140°W. This point is in the area in which surface subarctic water and the deeper currents divide north and south.

Pollutant Dispersion in the Ekman Layer Using Moment-Reduced Transport Equations

1983
The program MODIS (Moment Distribution) is designed to extend the Gaussian plume model up to the range of about 102 km. Numerical experiments with stationary solutions are reported to show reliability and accuracy (essentially dependent on the grid Peclet number) of the results. The influence of the Coriolis force on the ground centre line of the plume

The transport in the Ekman surface layer on the spherical Earth

Journal of Marine Research, 2002
The modification of the transport in the Ekman layer on the f-plane due to the Coriolis parameter’s variation with latitude and the curvature of Earth’s surface is analyzed by considering the temporal changes in the angular momentum. The latter plays the role of a dynamical variable of the model, replacing the zonal velocity component, and drag is ...

The Balance of Geostrophic and Ekman Transports in the Tropical Atlantic Ocean

Journal of Physical Oceanography, 1983
Abstract Hydrographic station data from 24°N, 8°N, 8°S and 24°S in the Atlantic Ocean are used to calculate geostrophic transport in eight layers separated by isopycnal surfaces. In the upper ocean, the geostrophic transport is strongly northward across 8°S and strongly southward across 8°N resulting in a geostrophic convergence of ∼25 × 106 m2 s−1 in ...
