Meridional circulation in the tropical North Atlantic
… mass distributions. A brief overview of the meridional circulation of the upper waters resulting from these analysis techniques is presented. Schematic circulation patterns of the NADW and AAW are also presented. In both the western and eastern basins these waters are characterized by …

Decadal variability of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation
… of the abyss. Due to the role of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) in ocean heat transport, numerous studies have suggested that AMOC variability plays a role in climate variability on a wide range of timescales. My focus is AMOC and ocean buoyancy variability on decadal …

Diapycnal mixing transience and the meridional overturning circulation
… dynamics and associated heat transport of the meridional overturning circulation, yet uncertainty exists regarding the distribution and physical mechanisms of this mixing. This study uses a highly-idealized, single-hemisphere model of buoyancy-forced flow to examine the examine the effects of …

Linear normal mode analysis of baroclinic instability in a meridional channel
… inviscid quasigeostrophic equations in a meridional channel. A steady mean flow in the N-S direction is imposed in the upper layer, and it is assumed that changes in planetary vorticity following this mean flow are balanced by the input of vorticity from an imposed wind stress curl. Thus …

Short meridional scale anomalies in the lower stratosphere and upper troposphere
<p>Short meridional scale anomalies (SMSA) in the lower stratospheric temperature field were recently discovered by Stanford and Short (1981) in the analyses of Microwave Sounding Unit (MSU) channel 4 data. Newman and Stanford (1983) further elucidated the properties of these anomalies, and their …

Sverdrup Balance and Three Dimensional Variability of the Meridional Overturning Circulation
… of the spatial structure of Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation changes and the dynamical framework within which those changes occur. Sverdrup balance is studied using the 16 year ECCO-GODAE state estimation. It is shown to hold well in the interior subtropics when integrating …

Visual Performance in Pseudophakia. The Effect of Meridional Blur in Pseudoaccommodation.
… aim of this thesis is to evaluate the effect of meridional blur, using refractive induced astigmatism, on visual performance at far and close distances. Visual performance was evaluated using letter discrimination tasks at distance and near (visual acuity, VA) and a reading task at near on …

On the maintenance of weak meridional temperature gradients during warm climates
… physics of two mechanisms by which weak meridional temperature gradients might be maintained are studied. First, I examine the evolution of stratospheric dynamics and winter temperatures when the surface temperature gradient and tropospheric eddy energy decrease in order to assess whether …

On the meridional heat transport and its partition between the atmosphere and oceans
In this thesis I study the meridional heat transport of the climate system and its partition between the atmosphere and oceans using models and data. I focus on three primary questions: (1) What is the total heat transport and its partition between the two fluids? (2) What sets the magnitude of the …

The Southern Ocean meridional overturning circulation as diagnosed from an eddy permitting state estimate
A modern general circulation model of the Southern Ocean with one-sixth of a degree resolution is optimized to the observed ocean in a weighted least squares sense. Convergence to the state estimate solution is carried out by systematically adjusting the control variables (atmospheric state and …
