RISEddy Formation in the Tropical Atlantic Induced by Abrupt Changes in the Meridional Overturning Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The variability of the meridional overturning circulation (MOC) in the upper tropical Atlantic basin is investigated using a reduced-gravity model in a simplified domain. Four sets of idealized numerical experiments are ...
Reducing Biases in XBT Measurements by Including Discrete Information from Pressure Switches
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: iases in the depth estimation of expendable bathythermograph (XBT) measurements cause considerable errors in oceanic estimates of climate variables. Efforts are currently underway to improve XBT probes by including pressure ...
The Impact of Improved Thermistor Calibration on the Expendable Bathythermograph Profile Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractExpendable bathythermograph (XBT) data provide one of the longest available records of upper-ocean temperature. However, temperature and depth biases in XBT data adversely affect estimates of long-term trends of ...
The complementary value of XBT and Argo observations to monitor ocean boundary currents and meridional heat and volume transports: A case study in the Atlantic Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This work assesses the value of expendable bathythermograph (XBT) and Argo profiling float observations to monitor the Atlantic Ocean boundary current systems (BCS), meridional overturning circulation (MOC), and meridional ...
An Updated Estimate of Salinity for the Atlantic Ocean Sector Using Temperature–Salinity Relationships
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractSimultaneous temperature and salinity profile measurements are of extreme importance for research; operational oceanography; research and applications that compute content and transport of mass, heat, and freshwater ...
XBT Science: Assessment of Instrumental Biases and Errors
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: xpendable bathythermograph (XBT) data were the major component of the ocean temperature profile observations from the late 1960s through the early 2000s, and XBTs still continue to provide critical data to monitor surface ...
