RISInterannual Variability of the North Pacific Subtropical Countercurrent and Its Associated Mesoscale Eddy Field
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Interannual changes in the mesoscale eddy field along the Subtropical Countercurrent (STCC) band of 18°?25°N in the western North Pacific Ocean are investigated with 16 yr of satellite altimeter data. Enhanced eddy activities ...
Multidecadal Sea Level and Gyre Circulation Variability in the Northwestern Tropical Pacific Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ea level rise with the trend >10 mm yr?1 has been observed in the tropical western Pacific Ocean over the 1993?2009 period. This rate is 3 times faster than the global-mean value of the sea level rise. Analyses of the ...
Concurrent Decadal Mesoscale Eddy Modulations in the Western North Pacific Subtropical Gyre
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: atellite altimeter data of the past two decades are used to investigate the low-frequency mesoscale eddy variability inside the western North Pacific subtropical gyre. Eddy activity modulations with a decadal time scale ...
Seasonal Modulations in the Eddy Field of the South Pacific Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Decade-long satellite altimeter data from the Ocean Topography Experiment (TOPEX)/Poseidon and European Remote Sensing Satellite-1 and-2 (ERS-1/2) missions are analyzed to investigate the eddy signals in the South Pacific ...
Variability of the Kuroshio Extension Jet, Recirculation Gyre, and Mesoscale Eddies on Decadal Time Scales
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Twelve years of sea surface height (SSH) data from multiple satellite altimeters are used to investigate the low-frequency changes and the interconnections of the Kuroshio Extension (KE) jet, its southern recirculation ...
Decadal Variability in the Formation of the North Pacific Subtropical Mode Water: Oceanic versus Atmospheric Control
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In situ temperature and altimetrically derived sea surface height data are used to investigate the low-frequency variations in the formation of the North Pacific Ocean Subtropical Mode Water (STMW) over the past 12 yr. ...
Decadal Variability in the Large-Scale Sea Surface Height Field of the South Pacific Ocean: Observations and Causes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Large-scale sea surface height (SSH) changes in the extraequatorial South Pacific Ocean are investigated using satellite altimetry data of the past 12 yr. The decadal SSH signals in the 1990s were dominated by an increasing ...
Eddy-Induced Heat Transport in the Subtropical North Pacific from Argo, TMI, and Altimetry Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Basin-scale heat transport induced by mesoscale oceanic eddies is estimated by combining satellite-derived sea surface height and temperature [temperature data are from the TRMM Microwave Imager (TMI)] data with Argo float ...
Effect of Decadal Kuroshio Extension Jet and Eddy Variability on the Modification of North Pacific Intermediate Water
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Salinity modifications in the North Pacific Intermediate Water (NPIW) core layer of 26.7?26.8 σ? in the western North Pacific Ocean are investigated using temperature?salinity data from available profiling float and ...
Interannual-to-Decadal Variability in the Bifurcation of the North Equatorial Current off the Philippines
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Satellite altimeter sea surface height (SSH) data from the past 17 yr are used to investigate the interannual-to-decadal changes in the bifurcation of the North Equatorial Current (NEC) along the Philippine coast. The NEC ...
