Numerical simulations of spreading of the Persian Gulf outflow into the Oman Sea

Abstract: Abstract.A three dimensional numerical model namely POM (Princeton Ocean Model) and observational data are used to study the Persian Gulf outflow structure and its spreading pathways during 1992. In the model, the monthly wind speed data were taken from ICOADS (International Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set) and the monthly SST (sea surface temperatures) were taken from AVHRR (Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer) with the addition of monthly net shortwave radiations from NCEP (National Center for E… Show more

“…13e and f for both WOA09 data and CM2.6 (model year 197), respectively. Figure 13e shows two separate tongues of salty water, one near the surface and one at the depth of ∼ 300 m. These salty water signals are consistent with the seasonal cycle of Persian Gulf outflow as discussed in Ezam et al (2010). On the other hand, CM2.6 shows one subsurface salty water signal from the northern part, which is deep and strong enough to result in weak stratification in the north to a depth of 250 m, as shown in Fig.…”

“…Vertical profiles starts from 100 and 150 meters depth, and increase to a depth of 250 to 300 m. Whereas in winter the outflow is at greater depth with respect to other seasons showing higher outflow density. In summer, as opposed to winter, Persian Gulf outflow that enters into Oman Sea is more unified because thermocline in Oman Sea is stronger than those for other seasons as [2] has observed.…”
