RISOn the Atmospheric Boundary Layer over the Equatorial Front
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper presents surface meteorological data and boundary layer profiles from a single meridional transect across the equator along 125°W collected during the Pan American Climate Study mooring cruise in September of ...
Sensitivity of Intraseasonal Perturbations in SST to the Structure of the MJO
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study demonstrates that intraseasonal perturbations in sea surface temperature (SST?) in the western Pacific warm pool is very sensitive to the structure, as well as other characteristics, of the Madden?Julian oscillation ...
Radiative Heating Errors in Naturally Ventilated Air Temperature Measurements Made from Buoys*
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Solar radiative heating errors in buoy-mounted, naturally ventilated air temperature sensors are examined. Data from sensors with multiplate radiation shields and collocated, fan-aspirated air temperature sensors from three ...
A New Look at Calibration and Use of Eppley Precision Infrared Radiometers. Part II: Calibration and Use of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Improved Meteorology Precision Infrared Radiometer*
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: For some years, investigators have made measurements of downwelling longwave irradiance with the Eppley Precision Infrared Radiometer (PIR), recording the values of thermopile voltage and body and dome thermistor resistances ...
Surface Buoyancy Forcing and the Mixed Layer of the Western Pacific Warm Pool: Observations and 1D Model Results
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The broad, shallow body of warm (>29°C) water found in the western tropical Pacific Ocean plays an important role in the coupled ocean-atmosphere dynamics and thermodynamics associated with the El Niño-Southern Oscillation ...
Moored Observations of Precipitation Temperature
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Direct observations of precipitation temperature were made from a surface buoy deployed for four months in the western Pacific warm pool. The observed rain droplet temperatures are equal to the wet-bulb temperature to ...
River Discharge and Bathymetry Estimation from Inversion of Surface Currents and Water Surface Elevation Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We developed an approach for estimating river discharge and water depth from measurements of surface velocity and water surface elevation, based on analytical velocity?depth and velocity?slope relationships derived from ...
Pacific Warm Pool Temperature Regulation during TOGA COARE: Upper Ocean Feedback
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Hasselmann feedback model was applied to hindcast western Pacific warm pool sea surface temperatures (SST) with heat flux observations obtained near 2°S, 156°E from October 1992 to February 1993 during the Tropical ...
Upper-Ocean Heat and Salt Balances in the Western Equatorial Pacific in Response to the Intraseasonal Oscillation during TOGA COARE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the TOGA COARE Intensive Observing Period (IOP) from November 1992 through February 1993, temperature, salinity, and velocity profiles were repeatedly obtained within a 130 km ? 130 km region near the center of the ...
