A hierarchy of thermohaline circulation models. Final report

Description: The objectives of this effort were: (1) to understand the variability caused by the competitive roles of salt and heat in the ocean circulation; (2) to understand the effect of differential advection of active tracers, such as temperature, salinity and angular momentum; and (3) to improve the parametrization of convection in models of the ocean circulation. One result of the project is the discovery that the characteristics of the quasi-periodic centennial and millennial oscillations found in O… more

Grand Challenges for Biological and Environmental Research: A Long-Term Vision

Description: The interactions and feedbacks among plants, animals, microbes, humans, and the environment ultimately form the world in which we live. This world is now facing challenges from a growing and increasingly affluent human population whose numbers and lifestyles are driving ever greater energy demand and impacting climate. These and other contributing factors will make energy and climate sustainability extremely difficult to achieve over the 20-year time horizon that is the focus of this report. De… more
