Sensitivity of Cyclogenesis to Sea Surface Temperature in the Northwestern Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the Intensive Observation Period 15 (13?15 February 1997) of the FASTEX Experiment, a major cyclone crossed the Atlantic Ocean from the Newfoundland Basin to southern Iceland. Its surface low center deepened by 17 ...
A Simplified 3D Oceanic Model Assimilating Geostrophic Currents: Application to the POMME Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A simplified oceanic model is developed to easily perform cheap and realistic mesoscale simulations on an annual scale. This simplified three-dimensional oceanic model is obtained by degenerating the primitive equations ...
A Nonlinear Statistical Model of Turbulent Air–Sea Fluxes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Most of the bulk algorithms used to calculate turbulent air?sea fluxes of momentum and heat are iterative algorithms whose convergence is slow and not always achieved. To avoid these drawbacks that are critical when large ...
Why Were Sea Surface Temperatures so Different in the Eastern Equatorial Atlantic in June 2005 and 2006?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A comparison of June 2005 and June 2006 sea surface temperatures in the eastern equatorial Atlantic exhibits large variability in the properties of the equatorial cold tongue, with far colder temperatures in 2005 than in ...
