Drift in Salinity Data from Argo Profiling Floats in the Sea of Japan
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n drift analysis of salinity sensors, one major problem is the difficulty in delineating sensor drift from water mass changes. In the present study, a new method is proposed for finding sensor drift that is free from water ...
XBT Fall Rate in Waters of Extreme Temperature: A Case Study in the Antarctic Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: XBT fall-rate variation in waters of extreme temperature and the resulting depth error has been addressed using controlled XBT?CTD datasets collected from two cruises in the Southern Ocean. Mean depth errors deduced from ...
Salinity Measurements Collected by Fishermen Reveal a “River in the Sea” Flowing Along the Eastern Coast of India
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: only tropical ocean bounded by a continent to the north, the Indian Ocean is home to the most powerful monsoon system on Earth. Monsoonal rains and winds induce huge river discharges and strong coastal currents in the ...
Seasonal Variability of the Observed Barrier Layer in the Arabian Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The formation mechanisms of the barrier layer (BL) and its seasonal variability in the Arabian Sea (AS) are studied using a comprehensive dataset of temperature and salinity profiles from Argo and other archives for the ...
Investigation of XBT and XCTD Biases in the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal with Implications for Climate Studies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Long time series of XBT data in the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea are valuable datasets for exploring and understanding climate variability. However, such studies of interannual and longer-scale variability of temperature ...
Reduced Near-Surface Thermal Inversions in 2005–06 in the Southeastern Arabian Sea (Lakshadweep Sea)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Repeat XBT transects made at near-fortnightly intervals in the Lakshadweep Sea (southeastern Arabian Sea) and ocean data assimilation products are examined to describe the year-to-year variability in the observed near-surface ...
