The Ocean Basin Model encourages experiments with ocean surface circulation in a homogeneous, rectangular ocean basin, driven by surface winds, ocean bottom friction, horizontal pressure gradients and the Coriolis force.

Midlatitude ocean circulation can be approached by using boundary layer theory. We begin by idealizing the ocean basin as a box with irregular bottom and filled up with homogeneous water.

The Ocean Basin Model, left, and Ship Drift Model above, simulate the Coriolis effect in the Atlantic Ocean. The model allows the user to control the rotation of the Earth and observe the effect on water in an ocean basin.

2012年7月1日 · Our model is underpinned by plate motions derived from reconstructing the seafloor-spreading history of the ocean basins and motions of the continents and utilizes a hybrid absolute reference frame, based on a moving hotspot model for the last 100 Ma, and a true-polar wander corrected paleomagnetic model for 200 to 100 Ma.

Results from a high-resolution coupled Arctic Ocean and sea ice model are analyzed to describe the water circulation and exchanges in the Canada Basin and the adjacent shelves. The model has been developed and maintained at NPS. Its characteristics are:

The NCAR CSM Pacific Basin Model is based on the upper equatorial ocean model of Gent and Cane (1989). It has been updated and improved in a variety of ways, perhaps most notably by the addition of the K-profile parameterization (KPP) boundary layer scheme of Large et at (1994).

We present a revised global plate motion model with continuously closing plate boundaries ranging from the Triassic at 230 Ma to the present day, assess differences among alternative absolute plate motion models, and review global tectonic events.

An eddy-resolving nowcast/forecast system for the global ocean with embedded basin-scale systems (1/32° Atlantic subtropical gyre, 9 °-51 °N, which includes the Intra-Americas Sea) and a global model with progressively increasing resolution, 1/16 in and ultimately 1/32 resolution.

2015年11月3日 · We present a revised global plate motion model with continuously closing plate boundaries ranging from the Triassic at 230 Ma to the present day, assess differences between alternative absolute plate motion models, and review global tectonic events.

2022年11月9日 · Two elementary models of ocean circulation, the well-known double-gyre stream function model and a single-layer quasi-geostrophic (QG) basin model, are used to generate flow data that sample a range of possible dynamical behavior for particular flow parameters.
