  • Sea level and circulation variability of the Gulf of Carpentaria; influence of the Madden-Julian Oscillation and the adjacent deep ocean 

    Oliver, E. C. J., and K. R. Thompson. 2011. "Sea level and circulation variability of the Gulf of Carpentaria; influence of the Madden-Julian Oscillation and the adjacent deep ocean." Journal of Geophysical Research 116(C2): 02019-Citation C02019. DOI: 10.1029/2010JC006596
    The Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) is a significant contributing factor to intraseasonal variability in both the tropical and extratropical atmosphere and ocean. Sea level and circulation variations in the Gulf of Carpentaria ...

  • Subtidal circulation on the Scotian Shelf: assessing the hindcast skill of a linear, barotropic model 

    Thompson, K. R., and Jinyu Sheng. 1997. "Subtidal circulation on the Scotian Shelf: assessing the hindcast skill of a linear, barotropic model." Journal of Geophysical Research 102: 24987-5003. DOI: 10.1029/97JC00368
    Currents measured during the winter of 1985-1986 by four moorings on the inner Scotian Shelf are used to assess the hindcast skill of a three-dimensional circulation model forced by local wind stress and coastal sea level. ...

  • Surface heat flux, horizontal advection, and the seasonal evolution of water temperature on the Scotian Shelf 

    Umoh, JU, and K. R. Thompson. 1994. "Surface heat flux, horizontal advection, and the seasonal evolution of water temperature on the Scotian Shelf." Journal of Geophysical Research.C.Oceans 99(10): 20-20,416. DOI: 10.1029/94JC01620
    Seasonal temperature variations on the Scotian Shelf penetrate to a depth of about 75 m. The net surface heat flux (Q) can explain about 85% of the annual cycle in the rate of change of mean temperature over this depth ...

  • Tide-surge interaction off the east coast of Canada and northeastern United States 

    Bernier, N. B., and K. R. Thompson. 2007. "Tide-surge interaction off the east coast of Canada and northeastern United States." Journal of Geophysical Research-Oceans 112(C6): 06008-C06008. DOI:10.1029/2006JC003793
    [1] Sea level observations and a dynamical model are used to investigate tide-surge interaction in the coastal waters off the east coast of Canada and northern USA. The study is motivated in part by the need to improve ...

  • Time-Averaged Forms of the Non-Linear Stress Law 

    WRIGHT, DG, and KR THOMPSON. 1983. "Time-Averaged Forms of the Non-Linear Stress Law." Journal of Physical Oceanography 13(2): 341-345. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1175/1520-0485(1983)013<0341:TAFOTN>2.0.CO;2 © Copyright 1983 American Meteorological Society (AMS)

  • Tropical Pacific Ocean and the Madden-Julian Oscillation: Role of wind and buoyancy forcing 

    Zhang, Xu, Youyu Lu, Keith R. Thompson, Jing Jiang, et al. 2010. "Tropical Pacific Ocean and the Madden-Julian Oscillation: Role of wind and buoyancy forcing." Journal of Geophysical Research-Oceans 115: 05022-C05022. DOI:10.1029/2009JC005734
    A global ocean circulation model is used to examine the dynamical response of the tropical Pacific Ocean to forcing associated with the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO). Model sensitivity experiments first reveal that ...
