Cross-shelf exchange in the northwestern Black Sea [PDF]
, 2014 The transports of water, heat, and salt between the northwestern shelf and deep interior of the Black Sea are investigated using a high-resolution three-dimensional primitive equation model.

Buoyancy Arrest and Bottom Ekman Transport. Part I: Steady Flow [PDF]
Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2010 Abstract It is well known that along-isobath flow above a sloping bottom gives rise to cross-isobath Ekman transport and therefore sets up horizontal density gradients if the ocean is stratified. These transports in turn eventually bring the along-isobath bottom velocity, hence bottom stress, to rest (“buoyancy arrest”) simply by means ...

Buoyancy Arrest and Bottom Ekman Transport. Part II: Oscillating Flow [PDF]
Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2010 Abstract The effects of a sloping bottom and stratification on a turbulent bottom boundary layer are investigated for cases where the interior flow oscillates monochromatically with frequency ω. At higher frequencies, or small slope Burger numbers s = αN/f (where α is the bottom slope, N is the interior buoyancy frequency, and f is the ...

Observed decline of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation 2004–2012 [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2014 The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) has been observed continuously at 26° N since April 2004. The AMOC and its component parts are monitored by combining a transatlantic array of moored instruments with submarine-cable-based ...

Seasonal variability of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation at 11° S inferred from bottom pressure measurements [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2021 Bottom pressure observations on both sides of the Atlantic basin, combined with satellite measurements of sea level anomalies and wind stress data, are utilized to estimate variations of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) at 11∘ S ...
