RISMapping Ocean Observations in a Dynamical Framework: A 2004–06 Ocean Atlas
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper exploits a new observational atlas for the near-global ocean for the best-observed 3-yr period from December 2003 through November 2006. The atlas consists of mapped observations and derived quantities. Together ...
Estimated Global Hydrographic Variability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An estimate is made of the three-dimensional global oceanic temperature and salinity variability, omitting the seasonal cycle, both as a major descriptive element of the ocean circulation and for use in the error estimates ...
Estimates of Ocean Macroturbulence: Structure Function and Spectral Slope from Argo Profiling Floats
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Argo profiling float network has repeatedly sampled much of the World Ocean. This study uses Argo temperature and salinity data to form the tracer structure function of ocean variability at the macroscale (10?1000 km, ...
Low-Frequency SST and Upper-Ocean Heat Content Variability in the North Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: recent state estimate covering the period 1992?2010 from the Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean (ECCO) project is utilized to quantify the upper-ocean heat budget in the North Atlantic on monthly to ...

Using Transformation and Formation Maps to Study the Role of Air–Sea Heat Fluxes in North Atlantic Eighteen Degree Water Formation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Walin water mass framework quantifies the rate at which water is transformed from one temperature class to another by air?sea heat fluxes (transformation). The divergence of the transformation rate yields the rate at ...
A Comparison of Atmospheric Reanalysis Surface Products over the Ocean and Implications for Uncertainties in Air–Sea Boundary Forcing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his paper investigates the uncertainties related to atmospheric fields from reanalysis products used in forcing ocean models. Four reanalysis products, namely from 1) the interim ECMWF Re-Analysis (ERA-Interim), 2) version ...
Estimated Seasonal Cycle of North Atlantic Eighteen Degree Water Volume
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The seasonal cycle in the volume and formation rate of Eighteen Degree Water (EDW) in the North Atlantic is quantified over the 3-yr period from 2004 to 2006. The EDW layer is defined as all waters that have a temperature ...
Vertical Redistribution of Oceanic Heat Content
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: stimated values of recent oceanic heat uptake are on the order of a few tenths of a W m?2, and are a very small residual of air?sea exchanges, with annual average regional magnitudes of hundreds of W m?2. Using a dynamically ...
Determining the Origins of Advective Heat Transport Convergence Variability in the North Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: recent state estimate covering the period 1992?2010 from the Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean (ECCO) project is utilized to quantify the roles of air?sea heat fluxes and advective heat transport convergences ...
