| Zusammenfassung |
| The climatological annual mean tropical-extra-tropical pathways of
thermocline waters in the Atlantic Ocean are investigated with the NCAR CCSM
numerical coupled model. Results from three numerical experiments are
analyzed: Two are fully coupled runs with different spatial resolution (T42
and T85) for the atmospheric component. The third numerical experiment is an
ocean-only run forced by NCEP winds and fluxes. Results show that the
different atmospheric resolutions have a significant impact on the subduction
pathways in the Atlantic because of how the wind field is represented. These
simulation results also show that the water subducted at the subtropics
reaching the EUC is entirely from the South Atlantic. The coupled model
ability to simulate the STCs is discussed. |
