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 ...
Cold Water Flow and Upper-Ocean Currents in the Bismarck Sea from December 2001 to January 2002
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he authors investigated the upper-ocean currents in the Bismarck Sea and related oceanic thermal changes in the western equatorial South Pacific for December 2001?January 2002; during this period, coastal upwelling occurred ...
Oceanic Rossby Waves over Eastern Tropical Pacific of Both Hemispheres Forced by Anomalous Surface Winds after Mature Phase of ENSO
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he present study examined ENSO-related wind forcing contribution to off-equatorial Rossby wave formations in the eastern tropical regions of the North and South Pacific using satellite altimeter data and atmospheric ...
Upper-Ocean Salinity Variability in the Tropical Pacific: Case Study for Quasi-Decadal Shift during the 2000s Using TRITON Buoys and Argo Floats
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: pper-ocean salinity variation in the tropical Pacific is investigated during the 2000s, when Triangle Trans-Ocean Buoy Network (TRITON) buoys and Argo floats were deployed and more salinity data were observed than in ...
Lack of Westerly Wind Bursts in Unmaterialized El Niño Years
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe lack of westerly wind bursts (WWBs) when atmospheric intraseasonal variability (ISV) events occur from boreal spring to autumn is investigated by comparing two types of El Niño years with unmaterialized El Niño ...
