Fine Resolution Antarctic Model
Earth science; Physical oceanography
FRAM is a primitive equation numerical of the Southern Ocean between latitudes 24S and 79S based on the Cox/Bryan model. See Group (1991) and the FRAM Web site36.
spiral eddy
Earth science; Physical oceanography
Frequently observed, distinct sea surface patterns with a horizontal scale of around 10 km. The eddies are large–scale arrangements of sea slicks or streaks with a spacing on the ...
water mass assembly
Earth science; Physical oceanography
From Bˆacle et al. (2002): In the following discussion we distinguish between terms that describe water masses (based on straight theta-S diagrams and origins) and those that ...

general circulation model
Earth science; Physical oceanography
Generally a three-dimensional time-dependent model of the atmosphere and/or ocean circulation. The solution to a set of mathematical equations governing the motions of a layer of ...
subtropics
Earth science; Physical oceanography
Generally the part of the Earth’s surface between the tropics and the temperate regions, or between about 40° N and S.
ground truth data
Earth science; Physical oceanography
