Estimating the Meridional Ekman Transport at 14.5 N in the Atlantic Ocean
, 2015 The meridional Ekman transport across a transatlantic section at 14.5 N is estimated from different wind products and in-situ observational data. As a well-established method, the wind-based approach gives a meridional Ekman transport of 5.8 ± 0.4 Sv ...

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

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 ...

Horizontal Gravity in Ocean Ekman transport [PDF]
, 2021 Abstract Three-dimensional gravity vector field g (= igλ+jgφ+kgz) in geodesy has been greatly simplified to a uniform vertical vector (-g0k) in oceanography with (λ, φ, z) the (longitude, latitude, height), (i, j, k) the corresponding unit vectors, and g0 = 9.81 m/s2. Recent studies by the author show such simplification incorrect.

Heat transport in rotating convection without Ekman layers [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2009 Numerical simulation of rotating convection in plane layers with free slip boundaries show that the convective flows can be classified according to a quantity constructed from the Reynolds, Prandtl and Ekman numbers. Three different flow regimes appear: Laminar flow close to the onset of convection, turbulent flow in which the heat flow approaches the ...

On the numerical resolution of the bottom layer in simulations of oceanic gravity currents [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2010 The role of an increased numerical vertical resolution, leading to an explicit resolution of the bottom Ekman layer dynamics, is investigated. Using the hydrostatic ocean model NEMO-OPA9, we demonstrate that the dynamics of an idealised gravity current ...

Global simulation : Ekman + Geostrophic transport
, 2021 Global simulation including Ekman and geostrophic transport. Created using the Ocean Parcels framework (https://oceanparcels.org/) The simulation was started with a uniform input distribution, with particles every 1 degree (34,515 particles total). All

PLoS ONE, 2017 This study analyzes two wind-induced upwelling mechanisms, namely, Ekman transport and Ekman pumping that occur during the southwest monsoon. The results suggest that the coastline of the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia (ECPM) is affected by upwelling ...
