RISMidlatitude Atmosphere–Ocean Interaction during El Niño. Part II: The Northern Hemisphere Atmosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The influence of midlatitude air-sea interaction on the atmospheric anomalies associated with El Niño is investigated by coupling the Community Climate Model to a mixed-layer ocean model in the North Pacific. Prescribed ...
Midlatitude Atmosphere–Ocean Interaction during El Niño. Part I: The North Pacific Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Atmosphere-ocean experiments are experiments are used to investigate the formation of sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies in the North Pacific Ocean during fall and winter of the El Niño year. Experiments in which the ...
Relationship between Precipitation in the Great Plains of the United States and Global SSTs: Insights from the IPCC AR4 Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Multicentury preindustrial control simulations from six of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Fourth Assessment Report (IPCC AR4) models are used to examine the relationship between low-frequency precipitation ...
Variability in a Mixed Layer Ocean Model Driven by Stochastic Atmospheric Forcing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A stochastic model of atmospheric surface conditions, developed from 30 years of data at Ocean Weather Station P in the northeast Pacific, is used to drive a mixed layer model of the upper mean. The spectral characteristics ...
A Mechanism for the Recurrence of Wintertime Midlatitude SST Anomalies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In the early 1970s, Namias and Born speculated that ocean temperature anomalies created over the deep mixed layer in winter could be preserved in the summer thermocline and reappear at the surface in the following fall or ...
The Role of Ekman Ocean Heat Transport in the Northern Hemisphere Response to ENSO
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The influence of oceanic Ekman heat transport (Qek) on air?sea variability associated with ENSO teleconnections is examined via a pair of atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM) experiments. In the mixed layer model ...
Regional Earth-Atmosphere Energy Balance Estimates Based on Assimilations with a GCM
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The column budget technique described by Oort and Vonder Haar (1976) is used to assess the physical consistency and accuracy of estimates of the earth-atmosphere energy balance. Regional estimates of the atmospheric budget ...
Surface Flux Variability over the North Pacific and North Atlantic Oceans
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Daily fields obtained from a 17-yr atmospheric GCM simulation are used to study the surface sensible and latent heat flux variability and its relationship to the sea level pressure (SLP) field. The fluxes are analyzed over ...
Investigating the Role of Ocean–Atmosphere Coupling in the North Pacific Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ir?sea interaction over the North Pacific is diagnosed using a simple, local coupled autoregressive model constructed from observed 7-day running-mean sea surface temperature (SST) and 2-m air temperature TA anomalies ...
Why Are There Rossby Wave Maxima in the Pacific at 10°S and 13°N?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations indicate the existence of two bands of maximum thermocline depth variability centered at ?10°S and 13°N in the tropical Pacific Ocean. The analysis of a numerical integration performed with the National Center ...
