Estimates of the temperature flux-temperature gradient relation above a sea-floor

Andrea A. Cimatoribus, Hans van Haren

The relation between the flux of temperature (or buoyancy), the vertical temperature gradient and the height above the bottom, is investigated in an oceanographic context, using hi…

Temperature statistics above a deep-ocean sloping boundary

Andrea A. Cimatoribus, Hans van Haren

We present a detailed analysis of the temperature statistics in an oceanographic observational dataset. The data are collected using a moored array of thermistors, 100 m tall and s…

Comparison of Ellison and Thorpe scales from Eulerian ocean temperature observations

Andrea Cimatoribus, Hans van Haren, Louis Gostiaux

Ocean turbulence dissipation rate is estimated either by means of microstructure shear measurements, or by adiabatically reordering vertical profiles of density. The latter techniq…

Meridional overturning circulation: stability and ocean feedbacks in a box model

Andrea A. Cimatoribus, Sybren S. Drijfhout, Henk A. Dijkstra

A box model of the inter-hemispheric Atlantic meridional overturning circulation is developed, including a variable pycnocline depth for the tropical and subtropical regions. The c…

Sensitivity of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation to South Atlantic freshwater anomalies

Andrea A. Cimatoribus, Matthijs den Toom, Sybren S. Drijfhout +1

The sensitivity of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) to changes in basin integrated net evaporation is highly dependent on the zonal salinity contrast at the s…

Dansgaard-Oeschger events: tipping points in the climate system

Andrea A. Cimatoribus, Sybren S. Drijfhout, Valerie Livina +1

Dansgaard-Oeschger events are a prominent mode of variability in the records of the last glacial cycle. Various prototype models have been proposed to explain these rapid climate f…
