Advanced Ocean Modelling: Using Open-Source Software

5.12 Exercise 25: Simulation of an El-Niño Event 165Fig. 5.29 Exercise 25. Selected snapshots of horizontal distributions of Eulerian tracer concentration(color shading and contours) at a depth horizon of 150 m. Blue shading refers to decreasedconcentrations. Black arrows are lateral flow vectorslower sea-surface temperature by a couple of degrees. Transient equatorial Kelvinwaves associated with a high-pressure centre (such as that simulated here) operateto suppress this equatorial upwelling along their path. Hence, satellite-derivedsea-surface temperature can be used to trace the passage of equatorial Kelvinwaves.5.12.6 Additional Exercises for the ReaderConsider an easterly wind burst near the eastern coast of the model domain. Doesany of the waves created propagate to the western side of the model domain?
