The meridional overturning circulation of the ocean plays a central role in climate and
climate variability by storing and transporting heat, fresh water and carbon around the globe …

For the past several decades, oceanographers have embraced the dominant paradigm that
the ocean's meridional overturning circulation operates like a conveyor belt, transporting …

Oceanic transports of heat, salt, fresh water, dissolved CO2, and other tracers regulate
global climate change and the distribution of natural marine resources. The time-mean …

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 …

The dynamics of quasi-geostrophic flow with uniform potential vorticity reduces to the
evolution of buoyancy, or potential temperature, on horizontal boundaries. There is a formal …

This book sets forth the physical, mathematical, and numerical foundations of computer
models used to understand and predict the global ocean climate system. Aimed at students …

Abstract The Galileo and Cassini spacecrafts have greatly enhanced the observational
record of Jupiter's tropospheric dynamics, particularly through returning high spatial …

Synoptic, coarse-grain, isentropic maps of Ertel's potential vorticity Q for the northern middle
stratosphere, estimated using a large-Richardson-number approximation, are presented for …
