Seasonal overturning circulation in the Red Sea: 1. Model validation and summer circulation
Fengchao Yao,Ibrahim Hoteit,Lawrence J. Pratt,Amy S. Bower,Ping Zhai,Armin Köhl,Ganesh Gopalakrishnan +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used high-resolution MIT general circulation model simulations to study the vertical and horizontal structure of the summer overturning circulation and its dynamical mechanisms in the Red Sea.
Explaining the global distribution of peak-spectrum variability of sea surface height
TL;DR: In this paper, a 14-year satellite observation of sea surface height (SSH) reveals an interesting pattern: along any latitude, there is a frequency at which the SSH power spectrum peaks, regardless of which hemisphere or oceanic basin.
On the Crossover of Boundary Currents in an Idealized Model of the Red Sea
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the mechanisms that produce and control the crossover in an idealized, eddy-resolving numerical model of the Red Sea and derived an analytical estimate for the crossover latitude.

A mechanism for the latitudinal dependence of peak‐spectrum sea surface height variability
TL;DR: In this paper, Lin et al. extended their analysis to high-latitude oceanic basins and to include nonlinear eddy effects, by using a linear wave model and a high-resolution model output from the Earth Simulator (OFES).
Formation and spreading of Red Sea Outflow Water in the Red Sea
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used inert tracers, potential vorticity distributions, and model results to study the formation and spreading of Red Sea Outflow Water (RSOW) in the Red Sea.
