Sensitivity of Cyclogenesis to Sea Surface Temperature in the Northwestern Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the Intensive Observation Period 15 (13?15 February 1997) of the FASTEX Experiment, a major cyclone crossed the Atlantic Ocean from the Newfoundland Basin to southern Iceland. Its surface low center deepened by 17 ...
Modeling and Analysis of Ageostrophic Circulation over the Azores Oceanic Front during the SEMAPHORE Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In the conventional quasigeostrophic (QG) form of the ? equation developed by Hoskins et al., the unique forcing of vertical velocity is the geostrophic deformation. As the QG or even the semigeostrophic (SG) hypotheses ...
A Simplified 3D Oceanic Model Assimilating Geostrophic Currents: Application to the POMME Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A simplified oceanic model is developed to easily perform cheap and realistic mesoscale simulations on an annual scale. This simplified three-dimensional oceanic model is obtained by degenerating the primitive equations ...
Why Were Sea Surface Temperatures so Different in the Eastern Equatorial Atlantic in June 2005 and 2006?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A comparison of June 2005 and June 2006 sea surface temperatures in the eastern equatorial Atlantic exhibits large variability in the properties of the equatorial cold tongue, with far colder temperatures in 2005 than in ...
Impact of the Ocean Mixed Layer Diurnal Variations on the Intraseasonal Variability of Sea Surface Temperatures in the Atlantic Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study investigates the nonlinear processes by which the ocean diurnal variations can affect the intraseasonal sea surface temperature (SST) variability in the Atlantic Ocean. The Centre National de Recherches Météorologiques ...
