"Deep jets in the equatorial Atlantic Ocean
Carsten Eden
Institut fur Meereskunde Kiel
4:30 p.m., Thursday, February 5, 2004
Inertial instability of the deep zonal currents set by their (inertially unstable) vertical and meridional shears near the equator is proposed as one of the possible generation mechanism for the deep jets. In the model simulation, we find the necessary condition for this instability to occur (Ertel potential vorticity times the Coriolis parameter less than zero), surprisingly often fulfilled in the deep equatorial Atlantic, such that it appears possible that the jets might be be generated by this mechanism.

A model study of bipolar oscillations of the thermohaline circulation driven by orbital forcing
Gus Fanning
St. John's, NL
Candidate for Research Associate position
11:00 a.m., June 8, 2004
In step with this variability are large changes in the thermohaline circulation and hence poleward heat transport. Results suggest that the changes in ice volume are driven not only by in-situ changes in insolation, but also by the advection of heat via the thermohaline circulation from mid-latitudes. Finally the model suggests evidance of Broecker's bipolar seesaw hypothesis in which the strength of the thermohaline circulation oscillates between hemispheres with anomalies in one being perfectly reflected within the other.
