Adjustment of the basin-scale circulation at 26 degrees N to variations in Gulf Stream, deep western boundary current and Ekman transports as observed by the Rapid array [PDF]
The Rapid instrument array across the Atlantic Ocean along 26 degrees N provides unprecedented monitoring of the basin-scale circulation. A unique feature of the Rapid array is the combination of full-depth moorings with instruments measuring temperature,

Abstract Arafura sea is located between the southern part of Papua Island and Aru Island. Previous studies on Sea Surface Temperature (SST) have described that the SST is strongly affected by the upwelling, but the effect of Ekman Mass Transport (EMT) and Ekman Pumping Velocity (EPV) has not yet been studied.

A nonlinear model for rotationally constrained convection with Ekman pumping
It is a well established result of linear theory that the influence of differing mechanical boundary conditions, i.e., stress-free or no-slip, on the primary instability in rotating convection becomes asymptotically small in the limit of rapid rotation ...

Surface mixing and biological activity in the four Eastern Boundary Upwelling Systems [PDF]
Eastern Boundary Upwelling Systems (EBUS) are characterized by a high productivity of plankton associated with large commercial fisheries, thus playing key biological and socio-economical roles.

Upwelling is often associated with high productivity, biodiversity, and fishery resource abundance. This study employed a generalized additive model (GAM) to analyze the effects of Ekman pumping and transport on the abundance and distribution of jumbo ...

A fast and physically grounded ocean model for GCMs: the Dynamical Slab Ocean Model of the Generic-PCM (rev. 3423) [PDF]
We present an improved dynamical slab ocean model implemented in a 3-D General Circulation Model (GCM) called the Generic Planetary Climate Model (Generic-PCM; formerly the LMD-Generic GCM).

Boundary Zonal Flow in Rotating Turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard Convection [PDF]
For rapidly rotating turbulent Rayleigh–Bénard convection in a slender cylindrical cell, experiments and direct numerical simulations reveal a boundary zonal flow (BZF) that replaces the classical large-scale circulation.

Rigorous bounds on the heat transport of rotating convection with Ekman pumping [PDF]
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 ...

This study examines the unclear role of wind-driven upwelling through Ekman transport and pumping, along with the combined effects of the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) and El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) trends on the warming rate of Sea Surface ...

The effects of Ekman pumping on quasi-geostrophic Rayleigh-Benard convection
Numerical simulations of 3D, rapidly rotating Rayleigh-Benard convection are performed using an asymptotic quasi-geostrophic model that incorporates the effects of no-slip boundaries through (i) parameterized Ekman pumping boundary conditions, and (ii) a
