RISPredictability of a Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of a coupled ocean-atmosphere model used to study ENSO (El Niño?Southern Oscillation). Our interest here is in the growth of initial error: that is, the predictability of ENSO. The analysis ...
Modeling Tropical Pacific Sea Surface Temperature with Satellite-Derived Solar Radiative Forcing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two independent datasets for the solar radiation at the surface derived from satellites are compared. The data derived from the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) is for the net solar radiation at the surface whereas ...
Distinguishing Propagating Waves and Standing Modes: An Internal Wave Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper examines high-frequency (0.1-0.5 cph) internal waves, waves previously characterized by the Garrett and Munk spectral fits (GM72, GM75, GM79) as being vertically symmetric propagating waves (or equivalently ...
Accounting for Parameter Uncertainties in Model Verification: An Illustration with Tropical Sea Surface Temperature
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A simplified model originally developed to simulate sea surface temperature (SST) in the tropical Pacific is extended in two directions. First, the model is formulated and run for the tropical Atlantic. Second, optimal ...
An Advective Atmospheric Mixed Layer Model for Ocean Modeling Purposes: Global Simulation of Surface Heat Fluxes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A simple model of the lowest layer of the atmosphere is developed for coupling to ocean models used to simulate sea surface temperature (SST). The model calculates the turbulent fluxes of sensible and latent heat in terms ...
