Sentence examples for basin mode from inspiring English sources

A striking example of this behavior is the equatorial basin mode (Cane and Moore 1981).

The utility of the universal expression of energy flux as a model diagnostic is illustrated for a forced/dissipative equatorial basin mode simulated by a single-layer model.

It can be said that the simulated equatorial basin mode consists of low-frequency equatorial waves, as in Fig. 2, and mid-latitude RWs.

The potential of our analysis as a model diagnostic is illustrated in the present study for a forced/dissipative equatorial basin mode simulated by a single-layer model.

To illustrate the importance of dissipation for explaining the observed cross-equatorial width of the equatorial deep jets, Greatbatch et al. (2012, hereafter G12) have simulated a forced/dissipative basin mode solution using a single-layer reduced-gravity linear model.

Indeed, the magnitude of velocity associated with the gravest basin mode may be scaled as 10−10 m/s 2 × 4.5 years/(2π)=0.0023 m/s, which results in a Froude number of (0.0023 m/s)/c ∗=0.014 (nondimensional).

There is growing evidence that equatorial basin modes play an important role in equatorial ocean dynamics.

However, the energy cycle associated with equatorial basin modes has received little attention and is an important factor when considering the forced/dissipative basin modes that one can relate to observations.

In addition to waves that are trapped on the equator, equatorial basin modes also feature coastal KWs that propagate along the eastern boundary and extratropical RWs that are excited by these KWs and refocus on the equator, as described by Schopf et al. (1981).

Indeed, the annual cycle, the semi-annual cycle, and the interannual variability associated with the Atlantic equatorial deep jets (Brandt et al. 2011) all appear to be resonant excitations of equatorial basin modes [see Brandt et al. (2016) and Claus et al. (2016) for more details].

For example, basin modes have been associated with the equatorial deep jets (Johnson and Zhang 2003; Brandt et al. 2011; Claus et al. 2016) and with the semi-annual (Thierry et al. 2004) and annual cycles (Brandt et al. 2016) in the equatorial Atlantic.
