The Climatological Horizontal Pattern of Energy Flux in the Tropical Atlantic as Identified by a Unified Diagnosis for Rossby and Kelvin Waves

Abstract: This study investigates the horizontal distribution of wave energy flux in the tropical Atlantic Ocean using shallow‐water model experiments for three gravest baroclinic modes forced by climatological winds. This is the first attempt to apply a unified diagnostic scheme to the analysis of energy fluxes associated with both Rossby waves (RWs) and Kelvin waves (KWs) in the tropical Atlantic Ocean. Those analyses were difficult in previous studies owing to the difference of equatorial and quasigeostrophic dynamic… Show more

“…The mesh grid and model setup in our experiments has already been applied by Song and Aiki (2020, 2021) to cover the Atlantic basin. The model involves the 100‐m isobath in the bathymetry data provided by the GEBCO (The General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans) data set for realistic coastline with the latitude range from 44°S to 72°N.…”

“…The yielded c ( n ) , H ( n ) , and Ψ ( n ) for the first five modes have been presented by Table 1 and Figure 1. Readers can refer to Song and Aiki (2020, 2021) for detailed information about the solution of the classical eigenvalue problem for c ( n ) and H ( n ) . It should be pointed out here is that, without considering the topography of the continental shelf, in the coastal region off the equator, c ( n ) still represent the gravity wave speed of the n th equatorial baroclinic mode hence might be different from the CTW mode described by Illig et al.…”

“…The scheme is diagnostic and provides a computationally cheaper way compared with sensitivity experiments using an elaborated numerical model. The AGC17 scheme allowed Ogata and Aiki (2019), LA20, Song andToyoda et al (2021) to obtain wholly new perspectives on the horizontal transfer routes of waves in the tropical oceans. We extend their work to a three-dimensional system and describe vertical wave propagation.…”
