Coriolis force in Geophysics: an elementary introduction and examples [PDF]

, 2000
We show how Geophysics may illustrate and thus improve classical Mechanics lectures concerning the study of Coriolis force effects. We are then interested in atmospheric as well as oceanic phenomena we are familiar with, and are for that reason of ...

Quantification of the extremely intensified East Korea Warm Current in the summer of 2021: offshore and coastal variabilities

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
In this study, we investigate the record-breaking intensification and abrupt weakening of the East Korea Warm Current (EKWC) in the summer of 2021. We analyzed the ocean data assimilation products resolving this event to examine the association between ...

Turbulent snow transport and accumulation: New reduced‐order models and diagnostics

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Our new reduced‐order models of snow particle transport provide high‐fidelity calculations of snow accumulation in turbulent flows at significantly reduced computational costs. Additional accumulation diagnostics from the reduced‐order model predict complex patterns of particle concentration in turbulent boundary layers via coherent flow structures in ...

On the role of onshore geostrophic flow on larval retention in a permanent upwelling zone along north-central Chile

Frontiers in Marine Science
The Humboldt Archipelago (HAp), located off north-central Chile (~28° - 33° S) is one of the most productive marine zones of the Humboldt Current System (HCS).

Recent wind driven high sea ice area export in the Fram Strait contributes to Arctic sea ice decline [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2011
Arctic sea ice area has been decreasing for the past two decades. Apart from melting, the southward drift through Fram Strait is the main ice loss mechanism. We present high resolution sea ice drift data across 79° N from 2004 to 2010.

Extreme rainfall in Madeira: the June 2023 weather event

Weather, EarlyView.
This study investigates the meteorological conditions behind the extreme precipitation event on 6 June 2023 over Madeira Island, Portugal. The event set a national daily record of 497.5mm and was unusual for occurring in early summer, as most extremes in the region occur in winter.

River discharge impacts coastal southeastern tropical Atlantic sea surface temperature and circulation: a model-based analysis [PDF]

Ocean Science
The southeastern tropical Atlantic (SETA) coastal region sustains highly productive fisheries and marine ecosystems, thus having immeasurable socio-economic importance for southwestern African coastal countries.

The flow of the Antarctic circumpolar current over the North Scotia Ridge [PDF]

, 2009
The transports associated with the Subantarctic Front (SAF) and the Polar Front (PF) account for the majority of the volume transport of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC).

Palaeowinds and depositional conditions from Holocene loess in Sweden and Finland

Boreas, EarlyView.
The nature of deglacial and Holocene wind regimes in Fennoscandia is debated, as is the degree to which wind‐blown loess deposits exist in the region. Loess deposits in Fennoscandia are often relatively thin, discontinuous and less well‐sorted than typical loess, and questions remain over the degree of their post‐depositional reworking and the impact ...

Nonlinear transverse oscillations of a geostrophic front [PDF]

, 2004
A planar problem of nonlinear transverse oscillations of the surface (warm) front of a finite width is considered within the framework of a reduced-gravity model of the ocean.
