RISA Coupled Theory of Tropical Climatology: Warm Pool, Cold Tongue, and Walker Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Based on results from analytic and general circulation models, the authors propose a theory for the coupled warm pool, cold tongue, and Walker circulation system. The intensity of the coupled system is determined by the ...
Temperature Trend of the Last 40 Yr in the Upper Pacific Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The linear temperature trend of the last 40 yr (1955?94) in the upper Pacific Ocean above 400 m is studied using an objectively analyzed dataset and simulations of an ocean general circulation model. Both the data and ...
Why Is There a Tritium Maximum in the Central Equatorial Pacific Thermocline?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: It is suggested that the tritium maximum in the central Pacific is caused by two water pathways across the North Equatorial Countercurrent (NECC), one from the central Pacific and the other from the Mindanao Current. It ...
Oceanic Response to Idealized Net Atmospheric Freshwater in the Pacific at the Decadal Time Scale
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In the study of decadal variations of the Pacific Ocean circulations and temperature, the role of anomalous net atmospheric freshwater [evaporation minus precipitation minus river runoff (EmP)] has received scant attention ...
The Role of Buoy and Argo Observations in Two SST Analyses in the Global and Tropical Pacific Oceans
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe relative roles of buoy and Argo observations in two sea surface temperature (SST) analyses are studied in the global ocean and tropical Pacific Ocean over 2000?16 using monthly Extended Reconstructed SST version ...
Understanding Differences in Sea Surface Temperature Intercomparisons

The NCEP GODAS Ocean Analysis of the Tropical Pacific Mixed Layer Heat Budget on Seasonal to Interannual Time Scales
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The mixed layer heat budget in the tropical Pacific is diagnosed using pentad (5 day) averaged outputs from the Global Ocean Data Assimilation System (GODAS), which is operational at the National Centers for Environmental ...
Ocean Heat Uptake in Transient Climate Change: Mechanisms and Uncertainty due to Subgrid-Scale Eddy Mixing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The ocean heat uptake (OHU) is studied using the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) ocean general circulation model (OGCM) with idealized ocean geometry. The OGCM is coupled with a statistical?dynamic atmospheric ...
The Deep-Ocean Heat Uptake in Transient Climate Change
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The deep-ocean heat uptake (DOHU) in transient climate changes is studied using an ocean general circulation model (OGCM) and its adjoint. The model configuration consists of idealized Pacific and Atlantic basins. The model ...
