Increased spatial resolution in recent observations and modeling has revealed a richness of
structure and processes on lateral scales of a kilometer in the upper ocean. Processes at …

The motivation to study the vertical exchanges of tracers associated with mesoscale eddies
is that the mean concentration of most oceanic tracers changes rapidly with depth. Because …

For advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in atmospheric, oceanic,
and climate science, Atmosphere, Ocean and Climate Dynamics is an introductory textbook …

The two main principles underlying the use of isentropic maps of potential vorticity to
represent dynamical processes in the atmosphere are reviewed, including the extension of …

Atmospheric Data Analysis is intended to fill a void in the atmospheric science literature and
curricula. The book is self contained, and includes topics important in several other fields …

Recent studies highlight that oceanic motions associated with horizontal scales smaller than
50 km, defined here as submesoscales, lead to anomalous vertical heat fluxes from colder to …

The global climate during 1999 was impacted by Pacific cold episode (La Niña) conditions
throughout the year, which resulted in regional precipitation and atmospheric circulation …

Analyses of wintertime surveys of the Gulf Stream (GS) conducted as part of the CLIvar
MOde water Dynamic Experiment (CLIMODE) reveal that water with negative potential …

Some aspects of the nonlinear behavior of mid-latitude baroclinic waves are investigated by
means of a series of integrations of the primitive equations with spherical geometry. Each …
