RISCoupled Response of the Trade Wind, SST Gradient, and SST in the Caribbean Sea, and the Potential Impact on Loop Current's Interannual Variability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ir?sea coupling in the IntraAmerican seas (IAS; Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico) is studied through analyses of observational data from satellite, reanalysis products, and in situ measurements. A strong coupling is found ...
Instability of the North Pacific Subtropical Countercurrent
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he North Pacific Subtropical Countercurrent (STCC) has a weak eastward velocity near the surface, but the region is populated with eddies. Studies have shown that the STCC is baroclinically unstable with a peak growth rate ...

The Philippines–Taiwan Oscillation: Monsoonlike Interannual Oscillation of the Subtropical–Tropical Western North Pacific Wind System and Its Impact on the Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ide gauge and satellite data reveal an interannual oscillation of the ocean?s thermoclines east of the Philippines and Taiwan, forced by a corresponding oscillation in the wind stress curl. This so-called Philippines?Taiwan ...
Eddy and Wind-Forced Heat Transports in the Gulf of Mexico
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Gulf of Mexico (GOM) receives heat from the Caribbean Sea via the Yucatan?Loop Current (LC) system, and the corresponding ocean heat content (OHC) is important to weather and climate of the continental United States. ...
Why Can Wind Delay the Shedding of Loop Current Eddies?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: It is first shown that wind in the Gulf of Mexico can delay the shedding of Loop Current eddies. A time-dependent, three-dimensional numerical experiment forced by a spatially and temporally constant westward wind stress ...
Loop Current Cycle: Coupled Response of the Loop Current with Deep Flows
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Although the upper-layer dynamics of the Loop Current and eddies in the Gulf of Mexico are well studied, the understanding of how they are coupled to the deep flows is limited. In this work, results from a numerical model ...
Balanced and Coherent Climate Estimation by Combining Data with a Biased Coupled Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: iven a biased coupled model and the atmospheric and oceanic observing system, maintaining a balanced and coherent climate estimation is of critical importance for producing accurate climate analysis and prediction ...
Cross Flows in the Taiwan Strait in Winter
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n winter, a branch of the China Coastal Current can turn in the Taiwan Strait to join the poleward-flowing Taiwan Coastal Current. The associated cross-strait flows have been inferred from hydrographic and satellite data, ...
Loop Current Growth and Eddy Shedding Using Models and Observations: Analyses of the July 2011 Eddy-Shedding Event
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ecent studies suggest that as the trade wind in the Caribbean Sea weakens from summer to fall, conditions become more favorable for the Loop Current in the Gulf of Mexico to shed an anticyclonic ring. This idea originated ...
