RISThe Impact of SST Specification on ECMWF Surface Wind Stress Fields in the Eastern Tropical Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The impact of SST specification on low-level winds in the operational ECMWF numerical weather prediction model is investigated in the eastern tropical Pacific from comparisons of ECMWF wind stress fields with QuikSCAT ...
Estimation of Surface Current Divergence from Satellite Doppler Radar Scatterometer Measurements of Surface Ocean Velocity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Comparisons of Daily Sea Surface Temperature Analyses for 2007–08
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Six different SST analyses are compared with each other and with buoy data for the period 2007?08. All analyses used different combinations of satellite data [for example, infrared Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer ...
A Global Climatology of Surface Wind and Wind Stress Fields from Eight Years of QuikSCAT Scatterometer Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Global seasonal cycles of the wind and wind stress fields estimated from the 8-yr record (September 1999?August 2007) of wind measurements by the NASA Quick Scatterometer (QuikSCAT) are presented. While this atlas, referred ...
The Resolution Capability of an Irregularly Sampled Dataset: With Application to Geosat Altimeter Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A formalism is presented for determining the wavenumber-frequency transfer function associated with an irregularly sampled multidimensional dataset. This transfer function reveals the filtering characteristics and aliasing ...
Scatterometer-Based Assessment of 10-m Wind Analyses from the Operational ECMWF and NCEP Numerical Weather Prediction Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Wind measurements by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) scatterometer (NSCAT) and the SeaWinds scatterometer on the NASA QuikSCAT satellite are compared with buoy observations to establish that the ...
Comments on “Strategies for Assessing Skill and Significance of Screening Regression Models with Emphasis on Monte Carlo Techniques”
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In a recent paper, Lanzante reviewed methods for estimating the skill and significance of screening regression models through the use of Monte Carlo simulations. The strategies reviewed have several limitations that were ...
Monthly Mean Sea-Level Variability Along the West Coast of North America
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Linear statistical estimators are used to examine 29 years of nonseasonal, monthly-mean, tide-gauge sea-level data along the west coast of North America. The objective is exploration of the structure, and causes of nearshore ...
An Assessment of the Sea Surface Temperature Influence on Surface Wind Stress in Numerical Weather Prediction and Climate Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The ability of six climate models to capture the observed coupling between SST and surface wind stress in the vicinity of strong midlatitude SST fronts is analyzed. The analysis emphasizes air?sea interactions associated ...
Filter Transfer Functions for the Method of Successive Corrections
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The frequency-domain characteristics of the successive corrections method in one dimension are investigated through the calculation of smoother weights and filter transfer functions. The successive corrections algorithm ...
