RISUpper-ocean Response to Precipitation Forcing in an Ocean Model Hindcast of Hurricane Gonzalo
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Pre-existing, oceanic barrier layers have been shown to limit turbulent mixing and suppress mixed layer cooling during the forced stage of a tropical cyclone (TC). Furthermore, an understanding of barrier layer evolution ...
Barrier Layer Development Local to Tropical Cyclones based on Argo Float Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe objective of this study is to quantify barrier layer development due to tropical cyclone (TC) passage using Argo float observations of temperature and salinity. To accomplish this objective, a climatology of ...
Influences of Sea Surface Temperature Gradients and Surface Roughness Changes on the Motion of Surface Oil: A Simple Idealized Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he authors' modeling shows that changes in sea surface temperature (SST) gradients and surface roughness between oil-free water and oil slicks influence the motion of the slick. Physically significant changes occur in ...
Comments on “Reanalyses and Observations: What’s the Difference?”

Impact of East Asian Winter and Australian Summer Monsoons on the Enhanced Surface Westerlies over the Western Tropical Pacific Ocean Preceding the El Niño Onset
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: omposite analysis from NCEP?NCAR reanalysis datasets over the period 1948?2007 indicates that stronger East Asian winter monsoons (EAWM) and stronger Australian summer monsoons (ASM) generally coexist in boreal winters ...
Uncertainty in Scatterometer-Derived Vorticity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A more versatile and robust technique is developed for determining area-averaged surface vorticity based on vector winds from swaths of remotely sensed wind vectors. This technique could also be applied to determine the ...
The Effects of Gap-Wind-Induced Vorticity, the Monsoon Trough, and the ITCZ on East Pacific Tropical Cyclogenesis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ropical cyclogenesis in the eastern North Pacific (EPAC) basin is related to gap-wind-induced surface relative vorticity, the monsoon trough, and the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ). There are several gaps in the ...
Early Detection of Tropical Cyclones Using Seawinds-Derived Vorticity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method for early detection of the systems that become tropical cyclones (TCs) in the Atlantic hurricanebasin is developed using the SeaWinds scatterometer aboard the QuikSCAT satellite. The method is based on finding ...
Detection of the MJO Signal from QuikSCAT
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Wind data from the SeaWinds instrument on NASA?s Quick Scatterometer (QuikSCAT) satellite are investigated to ascertain how well the surface manifestation of the Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO) can be resolved. The MJO ...
