Modelling of Climate Variability in Selected Ocean Basins

Modelling Ocean Climate Variability

  • 1001 Accesses

Abstract

Specific ocean variability modelling is discussed, in reference to selected ocean basins, namely the Arctic-North Atlantic system, the North Atlantic, the Pacific, and the Indian Ocean. For the first of the basins problems of the sea-ice and snow thermodynamics, ice thickness vertical multilayer distribution and the dynamics of ice-water phase transition modelling are considered. Besides, the Arctic is strongly connected with the North Atlantic and depends on the surrounding river discharge. The effect of rivers is two-fold: ocean water volume variation and possible release of contaminants. A paragraph devoted to critical analysis of advantages and drawbacks of the North Atlantic high resolution modelling is following. Concerning the North Pacific circulation and contaminated water propagation a short model-time of integration with high resolution 0.12° enabled to keep the results of calculations at the realistic stage. An analysis of very successful modelling of the Kuroshio extension and the Kuroshio itself by high resolution and adequate model-time of integration is also presented in this paragraph. The last section of the Chapter contains the Indian Ocean descriptive hydrometeorology and thermo-hydrodynamics modelling.
