Complexity and Systemic Risk: Hilary Term Seminar Series 2010

CHAPTER

Unraveling Ocean Dynamics through Experimental Models

Exploring simplified two-dimensional models, this chapter delves into the impact of sub-notion winds and eddies on ocean circulation patterns and highlights the significance of accurately representing eddies in global ocean models. The discussion also touches on the influence of wind forcing on the Antarctic Circumpolar Current and the interplay between large-scale flows and eddies for understanding currents and the carbon cycle.
