Stochastic Forcing of Quasi-Geostrophic Eddies.
Abstract
The overall objective of this project was to understand to what extent the low frequency variability in the ocean is due to stochastic atmospheric forcing. Specifically, the project aimed at: (1) confirming the notion that most of the large scale barotropic quasi-geostrophic eddy field in the deep ocean away from unstable mean currents is stochastically forced by fluctuations in the atmospheric wind stress, and (2) exploring the extent to which the low frequency variability found in coupled ocean atmosphere general circulation models is stochastically forced.
