Abstract: Estimates of oceanic meridional energy transport for the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian oceans are made using calculated annual mean surface energy fluxes. The surface flux calculations use bulk formulations based on 31-year ...

Abstract: Recent estimates of oceanic meridional energy flux are compared with previous work and shown to he somewhat smaller and have a different annual cycle. When combined with temperature gradient data they show a down-gradient ...

Abstract: Thirty-five million ship reports for the period 1949?79 have been used to construct global, monthly-mean sea surface temperature fields for 5° ? 5° latitude-longitude regions. The monthly means have been subjected to ...

Abstract: Multiple-regression analyses of changes in tropospheric mean temperature as predictands and Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Ocean sea surface temperatures and atmospheric aerosol concentrations as predictors show that large ...
