Presentation du 5 avril 2005

Climatologic run

Les comparaisons avec les papiers de Webb(2000) et Qu and Lindstom(2002) sont discutés dans le rapport

Comparison with Ridgway and Dunn (2003):

2. figure 9
3. figure 10a Figure 10b

Bifurcation along the Australian coast

The latitude of the bifurcation varies with depth from 14.5°S at the surface to 19.5°S at 1000 m depth, not linearly
1. function of latitude 15S-17S 18S-20S 21S-23S

interannual run for the 1992-2002 period

Along the New Zeland-Japan XBT line:
1. Mean zonal velocity
2. interannual anomalies of transport
   1. comparison between different reference levels
   2. Comparison with the Caledonie/Salomon track
Transports between the islands:
1. For every letter a transport calculation was done
2. time series for the different transports
   1. Total transport
   2. interannual anomalies
3. Comparison between the zonal transport trough the XBT line and the transport trough C,D,E
1. transport from the surface to bottom between 20s and 10s
2. interannual anomalies
4. relation between the inflow and the outflow
1. the inflow variablity from D is related to the outflow from A
2. the inflow variablity from C is related to the outflow from B
Some SSH plots
1. MEAN
2. RMS
3. RMS south west pacific
4. Interannual RMS SSH anomalies along 20S-23S
Bifurcation along the Australian coast
To illustrate the variability, we look at a section at 17°S between 146°E and 150°E (between the coast and a sea mount):   meridional velocity
1. seasonal variability
   182 m depth   1992 june 1992 december
   732 m depth   1992 june 1992 december
2. interannual variability
