Transitions of zonal flows in a two-layer quasi-geostrophic ocean model
Mickael D. Chekroun, Henk Dijkstra, Taylan Şengül +1
We consider a 2-layer quasi-geostrophic ocean model where the upper layer is forced by a steady Kolmogorov wind stress in a periodic channel domain, which allows to mathematically…
Baroclinic Instability and Transitions in a Two-Layer Quasigeostrophic Channel Model
Ming Cai, Marco Hernandez, KiahWah Ong +1
The main objective of this article is to derive a mathematical theory associated with the nonlinear stability and dynamic transitions of the basic shear flows associated with baroc…
Dynamic Transitions of Quasi-Geostrophic Channel Flow
Henk Dijkstra, Taylan Sengul, Jie Shen +1
The main aim of this paper is to describe the dynamic transitions in flows described by the two-dimensional, barotropic vorticity equation in a periodic zonal channel. In \cite{CGS…
Tropical Atmospheric Circulations with Humidity Effects
Chun-Hsiung Hsia, Chang-Shou Lin, Tian Ma +1
The main objective of this article is to study the effect of the moisture on the planetary scale atmospheric circulation over the tropics. The modeling we adopt is the Boussinesq e…
Dynamic Transition Theory for Thermohaline Circulation
Tian Ma, Shouhong Wang
The main objective of this and its accompanying articles is to derive a mathematical theory associated with the thermohaline circulations (THC). This article provides a general tra…
El Nino Southern Oscillation as Sporadic Oscillations between Metastable States
Tian Ma, Shouhong Wang
The main objective of this article is to establish a new mechanism of the El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO), as a self-organizing and self-excitation system, with two highly coup…
