✦ Synopsis

Abstract

A mixed layer ocean model, which includes the effects of advection and salinity, is coupled to an atmospheric general circulation model of the southern hemisphere. The response of the ocean model is compared with observations and shown to be successful in simulating the pattern of heating occurring during the summer season, in subtropical and middle latitudes.

The sensitivity of the model to changes in atmospheric circulation, advection and salinity is assessed.

We have developed a coupled atmosphere and ocean model of Titan's surface. The atmospheric model is a 1-D spectrally-resolved radiative-convective model. The ocean thermodynamics are based upon solution theory. The ocean, initially composed of CH4, becomes progressively enriched in ethane over time.
