RISSensitivity of an Intermediate Ocean–Atmosphere Coupled Model of the Tropical Pacific to Its Oceanic Vertical Structure
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An intermediate ocean?atmosphere coupled model (ICM) of the tropical Pacific is used to investigate the sensitivity of the coupled system to the oceanic vertical structure. The model consists of a three-baroclinic-mode ...
Retrospective Forecasts of Interannual Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies from 1982 to Present Using a Directly Coupled Atmosphere–Ocean General Circulation Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A large number of ensemble hindcasts (or retrospective forecasts) of tropical Pacific sea surface temperature (SST) have been made with a coupled atmosphere?ocean general circulation model (CGCM) that does not employ flux ...
El Niño–La Niña Events Simulated with Cane and Zebiak's Model and Observed with Satellite or In Situ Data. Part I: Model Data Comparison
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Zebiak and Cane model is used in its ?uncoupled mode,? meaning that the oceanic model component is driven by the Florida State University (FSU) wind stress anomalies over 1980?93 to simulate sea surface temperature ...
Vertically Propagating Annual and Interannual Variability in an OGCM Simulation of the Tropical Pacific Ocean in 1985–94
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The annual and interannual variability in the subthermocline equatorial Pacific is studied in a simulation of the tropical Pacific for the 1985?94 decade using a primitive equation high-resolution model. The study focuses ...
Local Coupled Equatorial Variability versus Remote ENSO Forcing in an Intermediate Coupled Model of the Tropical Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The relative roles played by the remote El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) forcing and the local air?sea interactions in the tropical Atlantic are investigated using an intermediate coupled model (ICM) of the tropical ...
Intraseasonal Tropical Atmospheric Variability Associated with the Two Flavors of El Niño
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he characteristics of intraseasonal tropical variability (ITV) associated with the two flavors of El Niño [i.e., the canonical or eastern Pacific (EP) El Niño and the Modoki or central Pacific (CP) El Niño] are documented ...
El Niño-La Niña Events Simulated with Cane and Zebiak's Model and Observed with Satellite or In Situ Data. Part II: Model Forced with Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Various parameterizations derived from the observations are tested and proposed to improve the skill of the Cane and Zebiak's model in simulating the reality. The model is forced by FSU winds over the period 1980?1993. In ...
Dust Aerosol Optical Depth Retrieval over a Desert Surface Using the SEVIRI Window Channels
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The authors present a new algorithm to retrieve aerosol optical depth (AOD) over a desert using the window channels centered at 8.7, 10.8, and 12.0 ?m of the Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infrared Imager (SEVIRI) instrument ...
Liquid Jet Impingement Normal to a Disk in Zero Gravity
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An experimental and analytical investigation was conducted to determine the free surface shapes of circular jets impinging normal to sharp-edged disks in zero gravity. Experiments conducted in a ...
ENSO Feedbacks and Associated Time Scales of Variability in a Multimodel Ensemble
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The background state of the equatorial Pacific determines the prevalence of a ?slow? recharge oscillator-type ENSO over a ?fast? quasi-biennial surface-driven ENSO. The first is controlled to a large extent by the thermocline ...
