| Zusammenfassung |
| The response of the equatorial and South American coastal ocean circulation
to the anomalous March 2002 wind jet extending from the Gulf of Panama to 6° S
is studied in a linear ocean model. Two experiments were performed: one
without continental boundaries and the other with an eastern boundary at
81° W, representing the American continent. The spatial and temporal
structure of the imposed wind anomaly, represented with idealized
mathematical functions, is similar to that of the real jet. The duration of
the wind jet was six days where the maximum intensity occurred at the third
day. The results of the experiments indicate that the wind-jet anomaly over
the Gulf of Panama is another source of ocean waves that influence the
western coast of South America in the form of coastal Kelvin waves
(CKW). |
