Cancelation of Deglacial Thermosteric Sea Level Rise by a Barosteric Effect
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
The Mean Age of Ocean Waters Inferred from Radiocarbon Observations: Sensitivity to Surface Sources and Accounting for Mixing Histories
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: number of previous observational studies have found that the waters of the deep Pacific Ocean have an age, or elapsed time since contact with the surface, of 700?1000 yr. Numerical models suggest ages twice as old. Here, ...
Predictability of SST-Modulated Westerly Wind Bursts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Westerly wind bursts (WWBs), a significant player in ENSO dynamics, are modeled using an observationally motivated statistical approach that relates the characteristics of WWBs to the large-scale sea surface temperature. ...
Total Matrix Intercomparison: A Method for Determining the Geometry of Water-Mass Pathways
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Ocean tracer distributions have long been used to decompose the deep ocean into constituent water masses, but previous inverse methods have generally been limited to just a few water masses that have been defined by a ...
Global and Regional Discrepancies between Early-Twentieth-Century Coastal Air and Sea Surface Temperature Detected by a Coupled Energy-Balance Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Can Paleoceanographic Tracers Constrain Meridional Circulation Rates?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The ability of paleoceanographic tracers to constrain rates of transport is examined using an inverse method to combine idealized observations with a geostrophic model. Considered are the spatial distribution, accuracy, ...
An Improved Ensemble of Land Surface Air Temperatures Since 1880 Using Revised Pair-Wise Homogenization Algorithms Accounting for Autocorrelation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Global and Regional Discrepancies between Early-Twentieth-Century Coastal Air and Sea Surface Temperature Detected by a Coupled Energy-Balance Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Modulation of Westerly Wind Bursts by Sea Surface Temperature: A Semistochastic Feedback for ENSO
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Westerly wind bursts (WWBs) in the equatorial Pacific are known to play a significant role in the development of El Niño events. They have typically been treated as a purely stochastic external forcing of ENSO. Recent ...
