RISSeasonal Cycle of the Mixed Layer Heat Budget in the Northeastern Tropical Atlantic Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he seasonal cycle of the mixed layer heat budget in the northeastern tropical Atlantic (0°?25°N, 18°?28°W) is quantified using in situ and satellite measurements together with atmospheric reanalysis products. This region ...
Impact of Saharan Dust on Tropical North Atlantic SST
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A combination of satellite and in situ datasets is used to investigate the impact of interannual changes in atmospheric dust content on the sea surface temperature (SST) of the tropical North Atlantic Ocean. Throughout ...
Impact of Barrier Layer Thickness on SST in the Central Tropical North Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Measurements from three long-term moored buoys are used to investigate the impact of barrier layer thickness (BLT) on the seasonal cycle of sea surface temperature (SST) in the central tropical North Atlantic Ocean. It is ...
Transport of Surface Freshwater from the Equatorial to the Subtropical North Atlantic Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he transport of low-salinity water northward in the tropical and subtropical North Atlantic Ocean influences upper-ocean stratification, vertical mixing, and sea surface temperature (SST). In this study, satellite and in ...
Mixed Layer Heat Balance on Intraseasonal Time Scales in the Northwestern Tropical Atlantic Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Recent observations have shown evidence of intraseasonal oscillations (with periods of approximately 1?2 months) in the northern and southern tropical Atlantic trade winds. In this paper, the oceanic response to the observed ...
The Role of Oceanic Heat Advection in the Evolution of Tropical North and South Atlantic SST Anomalies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The role of horizontal oceanic heat advection in the generation of tropical North and South Atlantic sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies is investigated through an analysis of the oceanic mixed layer heat balance. It ...
An Enhanced PIRATA Dataset for Tropical Atlantic Ocean–Atmosphere Research
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe Prediction and Research Moored Array in the Tropical Atlantic (PIRATA) provides measurements of the upper ocean and near-surface atmosphere at 18 locations. Time series from many moorings are nearly 20 years ...
Interbasin Differences in the Relationship between SST and Tropical Cyclone Intensification
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ABSTRACTSea surface temperature (SST) is one of the most important parameters for tropical cyclone (TC) intensification. Here, it is shown that the relationship between SST and TC intensification varies considerably from ...
Stronger Tropical Cyclone–Induced Ocean Cooling in Near-Coastal Regions Compared to the Open Ocean

A Strong Atlantic Meridional Mode Event in 2009: The Role of Mixed Layer Dynamics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n the first half of 2009, anomalous cooling of sea surface temperatures (SSTs) in the equatorial North Atlantic (ENA; 2°?12°N) triggered a strong Atlantic meridional mode event. During its peak in April?May, SSTs in the ...
