Oceanic Rossby Waves over Eastern Tropical Pacific of Both Hemispheres Forced by Anomalous Surface Winds after Mature Phase of ENSO
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he present study examined ENSO-related wind forcing contribution to off-equatorial Rossby wave formations in the eastern tropical regions of the North and South Pacific using satellite altimeter data and atmospheric ...
Evaluation of Wind Vectors Observed by QuikSCAT/SeaWinds Using Ocean Buoy Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Wind vectors observed by the QuikSCAT/SeaWinds satellite mission are validated by comparing with wind and wave data from ocean buoys. Effects of oceanographic and atmospheric environment on scatterometer measurements are ...
Volume, Heat, and Salt Transports through the Soya Strait and Their Seasonal and Interannual Variations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: olume, heat, and salt transports through the Soya Strait are estimated based on measurements from high-frequency ocean radars during 2003?15 and all available hydrographic data. The baroclinic velocity structure derived ...
Wave Dependence of Sea-Surface Wind Stress
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Distribution of the wind stress over the oceans is usually estimated by using a bulk formula. It contains the squared 10-m wind speed multiplied by the drag coefficient, which has been assumed in many cases to be a weak ...
