RISThe Wintertime Wind Stress Curl Field in the North Atlantic and Its Relation to Atmospheric Teleconnection Patterns
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Adopting a rotated empirical orthogonal function (REOF) analysis and a maximum covariance analysis (MCA), characteristics of the wintertime wind stress curl (WSC) anomaly field in the North Atlantic are investigated. In ...
Influence of Kuroshio Path Variation South of Japan on Formation of Subtropical Mode Water
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: istributions of subtropical mode water (STMW) in the northwestern part of the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre were investigated, using temperature?salinity profiles from 2005 to 2011, with particular reference to the Kuroshio ...
Reexamination of the Depth Error in XBT Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: By using the accumulated datasets of CTD-XBT comparison experiments since 1985, the depth errors for both T-7 and T-6 probes were reexamined. All the XBT probes used here were manufactured by the Tsurumi-Seiki Company, ...
Decadal Changes in the Mode Waters in the Midlatitude North Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Temporal changes in the properties of the North Pacific subtropical mode water (NPSTMW) and the North Pacific central mode water (NPCMW), which occurred around the mid-1970s, are investigated using temperature data composited ...
A Numerical Investigation of Effects of a Tilt of the Zero Wind Stress Curl Line on the Subduction Process
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A three-dimensional ocean general circulation model is used to investigate the effects of an idealized, nonzonal wind stress curl on the subduction process in the subtropical gyre. Idealized zonal winds are used to force ...
The Subtropical Mode Water Circulation in the North Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Historical hydrographic data are analyzed to investigate the seasonal variation of the subsurace pycnostad in the northwestern part of the North Pacific and to relate it to the circulation of subtropical mode water (STMW). ...
Interannual Variations of North Pacific Subtropical Mode Water in the 137°E Section
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Examination of interannual variations of North Pacific subtropical mode water (STMW) in the 137°E repeat hydrographic section by Suga et al. is extended to seek a relation between changes in STMW renewal and the wintertime ...
Heat Content Variability Related to ENSO Events in the Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Anomaly fields of upper-ocean heat content (OHC) in the Pacific basin from 30°S to 60°N over a 45-yr period are analyzed with special reference to their relationship with El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events. In the ...
Impact of Remote Reemergence of the Subtropical Mode Water on Winter SST Variation in the Central North Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Using long-term datasets of sea surface temperature (SST), core-layer temperature (CLT) of the North Pacific subtropical mode water (NPSTMW), and the North Pacific index, an impact of remote reemergence of NPSTMW on winter ...
Roles of SST Anomalies on the Wintertime Turbulent Heat Fluxes in the Kuroshio–Oyashio Confluence Region: Influences of Warm Eddies Detached from the Kuroshio Extension
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ariations of turbulent heat fluxes (sum of sensible and latent heat fluxes) in the North Pacific during 16 winters from December 1992/February 1993 to December 2007/February 2008 are investigated because the months from ...
