RISObservations of Stratocumulus Clouds and Their Effect on the Eastern Pacific Surface Heat Budget along 20°S
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: idespread stratocumulus clouds were observed on nine transects from seven research cruises to the southeastern tropical Pacific Ocean along 20°S, 75°?85°W in October?November of 2001?08. The nine transects sample a unique ...
Which Bulk Aerodynamic Algorithms are Least Problematic in Computing Ocean Surface Turbulent Fluxes?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Bulk aerodynamic algorithms are needed to compute ocean surface turbulent fluxes in weather forecasting and climate models and in the development of global surface flux datasets. Twelve such algorithms are evaluated and ...
Wind Stress Drag Coefficient over the Global Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Interannual and climatological variations of wind stress drag coefficient (CD) are examined over the global ocean from 1998 to 2004. Here CD is calculated using high temporal resolution (3- and 6-hourly) surface atmospheric ...

High-Latitude Ocean and Sea Ice Surface Fluxes: Challenges for Climate Research
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ions have great sensitivity to climate forcing; however, understanding of the physical processes coupling the atmosphere and ocean in these regions is relatively poor. Improving our knowledge of high-latitude surface fluxes ...
