We review teleconnections within the atmosphere and ocean, their dynamics and their role
in coupled climate variability. We concentrate on teleconnections in the latitudinal direction …

The atmosphere and ocean are two of the most important components of the climate system,
and fluid dynamics is central to our understanding of both. This book provides a unified and …

Lectures on Geophysical Fluid Dynamics offers an introduction to several topics in
theoretical geophysical fluid dynamics, including the theory of large-scale ocean circulation …

ABSTRACT A simple theoretical model for the oceanic thernocline and the associated field
of currents is presented. The model consists of a finite but arbitrarily large number of inviscid …

Abstract The North Pacific Intermediate Water (NPIW), defined as the main salinity minimum
in the subtropical North Pacific, is examined with respect to its overall property distributions …

A" Mode Water" is a particular type of water mass characterized by its vertical homogeneity.
There are two general varieties in the world ocean: Subtropical Mode Waters and Subpolar …

The homogenization of a passive 'tracer'in a flow with closed mean streamlines occurs in
two stages: first, a rapid phase dominated by shear-augmented diffusion over a time≈ P1/3 …

Transatlantic hydrographic sections were obtained in mid-1981 along latitudes 24.5° and
36.25° N. The tracks nearly duplicated sections made 23 years earlier as part of the …

The physical elements of the circulation of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) are
reviewed. A picture of the circulation is sketched by means of recent observations from the …
