Abstract:
Abstract Sverdrup balance underlies much of the theory of ocean circulation and provides a potential tool for describing the interior ocean transport from only the wind stress. Using both a model state estimate and an eddy-permitting coupled climate model, this study assesses to what extent and over what spatial and temporal scales Sverdrup balance describes the meridional transport. The authors find that Sverdrup balance holds to first order in the interior subtropical ocean when considered at spatial scales greater than approximately 5°. Outside the subtropics, in western boundary currents a

Abstract:
Abstract Using observations from the Argo array of profiling floats, the large-scale circulation of the upper 2000 decibars (db) of the global ocean is computed for the period from December 2004 to November 2010. The geostrophic velocity relative to a reference level of 900 db is estimated from temperature and salinity profiles, and the absolute geostrophic velocity at the reference level is estimated from the trajectory data provided by the floats. Combining the two gives the absolute geostrophic velocity on 29 pressure surfaces spanning the upper 2000 db of the global ocean. These velocities

Abstract:
Abstract. The circulation in the North Atlantic subpolar gyre is complex and strongly influenced by the topography. The gyre dynamics are traditionally understood as the result of a topographic Sverdrup balance, which corresponds to a first-order balance between the planetary vorticity advection, the bottom pressure torque, and the wind stress curl. However, these dynamics have been studied mostly with non-eddy-resolving models and a crude representation of the bottom topography. Here we revisit the barotropic vorticity balance of the North Atlantic subpolar gyre using a new eddy-resolving sim

Abstract:
Abstract The vorticity budget of the vertically integrated circulation from two global ocean simulations is analyzed using a horizontal spacing of 2° × 2° in longitude/latitude. The two simulations differ in their initial hydrographic conditions and surface wind and buoyancy forcing. The constrained simulation obtains optimal initial condition and surface forcing through assimilating observational data using the model's adjoint, whereas the unconstrained simulation uses Levitus climatological conditions for initialization and is driven by NCEP–NCAR reanalysis forcing, plus restoring to the mon

Abstract:
Two numerical models are used to gain an understanding of the spatial structure of Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation changes and the dynamical framework within which those changes occur. Sverdrup balance is studied using the 16 year ECCO-GODAE state estimation. It is shown to hold well in the interior subtropics when integrating to a mid-depth level and when considered at spatial scales larger than approximately 5◦. Outside of the subtropics, in western boundary currents and at short spatial scales, significant departures occur mostly due to a failure in the assumption that there is

Abstract:
À l'échelle des bassins océaniques, les vitesses verticales présentent des valeurs nettement inférieures à celles des vitesses horizontales, imposant ainsi un défi considérable en ce qui concerne leur mesure directe dans l'océan. Par conséquent, leur évaluation nécessite une combinaison d'ensembles de données observationnelles et de considérations théoriques. Diverses méthodes ont été tentées, allant de celles qui se fondent sur la divergence du courant horizontal in situ à celles qui reposent sur des équations complexes de type oméga.

Abstract:
Abstract The goal of this chapter is to answer the questions, 1) where does the water go? and 2) why does it go there? The fundamental properties of the ocean (pressure, temperature, salinity and density) are described and methods to measure these properties are discussed. The superposition of forces (pressure gradient, wind, friction, Coriolis) on the density fields result in transports and currents. Sea surface height varies and the Geostrophic and Sverdrup balances result in patterns of major ocean circulation. Ekman Transport results from wind forcing on the surface of the ocean. Equatoria
