## 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 heati
In this article, we propose a mixed variational formulation for the streamfunction vorticity potential form for the two-layer quasi-geostrophic model of the ocean. We prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions of the mixed variational problem.
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.
In this article, we study the multi-layer quasi-geostrophic equations of the ocean. The existence of strong solutions is proved. We also prove the existence of a maximal attractor in L 2 (β¦ ) and we derive estimates of its Hausdorff and fractal dimensions in terms of the data. Our estimates rely on
