Wind-forced Variations in Sea Surface Height in the Northeast Pacific Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Sea surface height (SSH) anomalies from the Geosat altimeter for the northeast Pacific Ocean were analysed to determine their annual and interannual fluctuations over a 2.5-year period. The interannual anomalies suggested ...
Time-Dependent Internal Energy Budgets of the Tropical Warm Water Pools
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The exchange of internal energy between the warm water pools of the tropical oceans and the overlying atmosphere is thought to play a central role in the evolving climate system of the earth. Spatial displacements of the ...
Evaluation of Wind Vectors Observed by QuikSCAT/SeaWinds Using Ocean Buoy Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Wind vectors observed by the QuikSCAT/SeaWinds satellite mission are validated by comparing with wind and wave data from ocean buoys. Effects of oceanographic and atmospheric environment on scatterometer measurements are ...
Comparisons between the TAO Buoy and NASA Scatterometer Wind Vectors
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: There was an opportunity to compare 10 months of collocated National Aeronautics and Space Administration scatterometer (NSCAT) wind vectors with those from the Tropical Atmosphere Ocean (TAO) buoy array, located in the ...
