RISA Statistical Method for Correcting Salinity Observations from Autonomous Profiling Floats: An ARGO Perspective
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Profiling Autonomous Lagrangian Circulation Explorer (PALACE) float is used to implement the Array for Real-Time Geostrophic Oceanography (ARGO). This study presents a statistical approach to correct salinity measurement ...
On the Variability of the Tropical Pacific Thermal Structure during the 1979–96 Period, as Deduced from XBT Sections
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The thermal structure variability of the tropical Pacific is investigated using an objective analysis of about 250?000 temperature profiles (mainly XBT) collected during the 1979?96 time period. Mean conditions and seasonal ...
Annual Reversal of the Equatorial Intermediate Current in the Pacific: Observations and Model Diagnostics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A large reversal of zonal transport below the thermocline was observed over a period of 6 months in the western Pacific Ocean between 2°S and the equator [from 26.2 Sv (1 Sv ≡ 106 m3 s?1) eastward in October 1999 to 28.6 ...
Simulated Seasonal and Interannual Variability of the Mixed Layer Heat Budget in the Northern Indian Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A global ocean general circulation model (OGCM) is used to investigate the mixed layer heat budget of the northern Indian Ocean (NIO). The model is validated against observations and shows fairly good agreement with mixed ...
