We have developed a C-grid primitive equation ocean general circulation model with Cartesian and $ beta$-plane geometry. Temperature is the only state variable. The C-grid gives better results than the B-grid in reproducing the growth rates of linear unstable modes of the Raileigh-Benard equations. A semi-implicit scheme is used to treat the Coriolis term, which is important for efficient integration in coarse resolution large scale modelling studies. A new viscosity term which has a damping eff...

The temporal variability of North Pacific Ocean surface cyclones is presented, based upon a nine cold-season dataset from the National Meteorological Center. Our results show that: (1) January is the most active month for oceanic cyclone activity; the most active zone of the cyclonic characteristics is at its southernmost location in January; (2) Interannual variability of cyclone activity is pronounced. The interannual variability of cyclone activity is predominantly stronger than the seasonal ...

At mid-latitudes during the fall and winter, the mixed layer temperature (MLT) of the ocean decreases, mostly in short bursts associated with storms. These events have been dubbed episodic cooling events, although it has been shown (Large et al. 1986) that the associated decrease in MLT is primarily due to vertical heat re-distribution within the water column rather than heat loss to the atmosphere. This thesis describes an investigation of the phenomenon of episodic cooling. The approach taken ...

Numerical algorithms are proposed, analyzed and tested for improved efficiency and reliabil- ity of the dynamic core of climate codes. The commonly used rigid lid hypothesis is assumed, which allows instantaneous response of the interface to changes in mass. Additionally, mois- ture transport is ignored, resulting in a static interface. A central algorithmic feature is the numerical decoupling of the atmosphere and ocean calculations by a semi-implicit treatment of the interface data, i.e. parti...

Ocean turbulence is responsible for stirring and spreading ocean tracers, and contributes to the mean circulation as eddy bolus fluxes. The influence of the eddies on the mean circulation becomes particularly important in regions where mean geostrophic flows are weak, such as the meridional flow across the Antarctic Circumpolar Current. However, high resolution observations of eddies and their influence on the circulation are generally lacking, particularly in...

Colin Lewis was Professor of Geography at Rhodes University, Grahamstown, South Africa from 1989 until his retirement at the end of 2007. In 1990, with the strong support of the incumbent Vice-Chancellor, Dr Derek Henderson, he instigated the Certificate in Change Ringing (Church Bell Ringing) in the Rhodes University Department of Music and Musicology - the first such course to be offered in Africa. Since that date he has lectured in the basic theory, and taught the practice of change ringing. ...

Widespread break up of ice shelves, glacier tongues, and the loss of ice-dammed epishelf lakes on the northern coast of Ellesmere Island has motivated a need to understand fjord dynamics, yet the oceanography of fjords here is not well studied. Here, we present ocean profiling and mooring data collected from 2011 to 2015 in Milne Fiord, the last ice shelf-epishelf lake-glacier tongue fjord in the Arctic. The data reveal that seasonal and interannual variations of fjord water properties and circ...

The present study is designed to examine the structure and development of international and Canadian laws which attempt to regulate the ocean disposal of toxic waste by at-sea incineration. It begins by describing some of the hazardous wastes which are creating dangerous environmental problems in Canada and other nations, by introducing the reader to the types of toxic materials subject to incineration and dumping at sea, and to the nature of the hazards these materials create. With this backgro...

Preliminary results of a two-layer quasi-geostrophic box model of a wind-driven ocean are presented. The new aspects of this work in relation with conventional eddy models are a finite element formulation of the quasi-geostrophic equations and the use of no-slip boundary condition on the horizontal solid boundaries. In contrast to eddy resolving models that utilize free-slip boundary conditions our results suggest that the obtention of ocean eddies with the no-slip constraints requires a more r...

In this thesis we consider the propagation of internal waves in a rotating stratified unbounded ocean with randomly varying Brunt-Väisälä frequency, N. Keller's method is used to obtain the dispersion relation for the mean wave field correct to second order in Є when N is of the form N² = Nօ² (1+Єμ) where Nօ = constant, 0<Є²<< 1 and μ is a centered stationary random function of either depth or time separately. From the dispersion relation there are derived general formulas for the change...

Most studies in the area of ocean shipping are descriptive. Certain aspects of tramp shipping have been subjected to empirical analysis, but few authors have been concerned with an objective study of the behaviour of charter rates. The major purpose of this thesis is to analyse the behaviour of tramp shipping rates over the years 1960 -1968, and to discover what impact the forces of supply and demand had on voyage and time charter rates during those years. To accomplish this objective, the the...

We identify three major areas of ignorance which limit predictability in current ocean GCMs. One is the very crude representation of subgrid-scale mixing processes. These processes are parameterized with coefficients whose values and variations in space and time are poorly known. A second problem derives from the fact that ocean models generally contain multiple equilibria and bifurcations, but there is no agreement as to where the current ocean sits with respect to the bifurcations. A third pro...

During the GEOSECS cruise of the R/V KNORR, July 1972-April 1973, a very complete and high quality nutrient data set was acquired for the Atlantic Ocean. One hundred and twenty-one hydrographic stations were occupied throughout the Atlantic providing an internally consistent picture of the nutrient dynamics for this ocean. The dynamic and biological controls on the nutrient distribution were viewed by means of horizontal distribution patterns, vertical profiling, and statistical modeling of rela...

Physical-biological interactions in the Southern Ocean were investigated using remote sensing data from several different satellite sensors. Satellite sea surface temperature data were used to study the dynamics of the Antarctic Polar Front (PF). Satellite ocean color data were used to estimate surface chlorophyll concentrations and their relation to various physical forcings within the Southern Ocean. A detailed study of phytoplankton blooms at the Antarctic Polar Front revealed that elevated c...

OTEC is a technology where power is produced by utilizing the temperature difference in the oceans between surface water and water from the deep. It is considered that a temperature difference of 20K is required – a temperature difference found close to the equator.This report investigates if OTEC can produce enough electricity to provide 100 000 people, living on a generic island of 10 km2 somewhere alongside the equator in the pacific ocean, with their electricity needs. In this project a lite...

The location of fronts has a direct influence on both the physical and biological processes in the Southern Ocean. Moreover, the Subtropical Front (STF) is believed play a key role in the global climate system. Model simulations have shown that a wind induced poleward shift of the STF may strengthen the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation by allowing a stronger salt flux from the Indian to the Atlantic Ocean. This hypothesis has important implications for our future climate, as global wa...
