Influences of Time-Dependent Precipitation on Water Mass Transformation, Heat Fluxes, and Deep Convection in Marginal Seas

Abstract: Influences of time-dependent precipitation on water mass transformation and heat budgets in an idealized marginal sea are examined using theoretical and numerical models. The equations proposed by Spall in 2012 are extended to cases with time-dependent precipitation whose form is either a step function or a sinusoidal function. The theory predicts the differences in temperature and salinity between the convective water and the boundary current as well as the magnitudes of heat fluxes into the marginal sea and … Show more

“…Following Spall (2012) and Yasuda and Spall (2015), a simple model is now developed to represent the gross characteristics of the water mass properties and transports associated with deep convection. The model consists of two regions: an interior where deep convection takes place and a buoyant cyclonic boundary current that flows around the deep convection site (see the appendix).…”

“…A similar set of equations was also analyzed by Yasuda and Spall (2015) subject to time-dependent precipitation. A brief summary of the derivation is given in the appendix, and a more detailed derivation can be found in Yasuda and Spall (2015).…”
