The climate is a forced, dissipative, nonlinear, complex, and heterogeneous system that is
out of thermodynamic equilibrium. The system exhibits natural variability on many scales of …

Oceanic variability on interannual, interdecadal, and longer timescales plays a key role in
climate variability and climate change. Paleoclimatic records suggest major changes in the …

In the? rst edition of this book (publishedby Kluwer Academic in November 2000) the
methodology of dynamical systems theory was introduced and appli-cations of this theory to …

Transitions are to be found throughout the natural world. The laws of nature are usually
represented by differential equations, which can be regarded as dynamical systems—both …

The South China Sea (SCS) summer circulation often has a dipole structure associated with
an eastward jet, appearing off central Vietnam. The dipole has an anticyclonic eddy (AE) …

It is pointed out that accounting for an ocean surface velocity dependence in the wind stress
τ can lead to a significant reduction in the rate at which winds input mechanical energy to the …

The purpose of this review-and-research paper is twofold:(i) to review the role played in
climate dynamics by fluid-dynamical models; and (ii) to contribute to the understanding and …

Mesoscale eddies have strong signatures in sea surface height (SSH) anomalies that are
measured globally through satellite altimetry. However, monitoring the transport of heat …

Intrinsic low-frequency variability is studied in the idealized, quasigeostrophic, midlatitude,
wind-driven ocean gyres operating at large Reynolds number. A robust decadal variability …
