RISDeep Circulation in the South Atlantic Induced by Bottom-Intensified Mixing over the Midocean Ridge
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The deep circulation in the South Atlantic is studied through numerical experiments, using an oceanic general circulation model based on z coordinates. The new feature of these numerical experiments is that diapycnal mixing ...
Role of Net Surface Heat Flux in Seasonal Variations of Sea Surface Temperature in the Tropical Atlantic Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The present study used a new net surface heat flux (Qnet) product obtained from the Objective Analyzed Air?Sea Fluxes (OAFlux) project and the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) to examine two specific ...
Annual, Seasonal, and Interannual Variability of Air–Sea Heat Fluxes in the Indian Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study investigated the accuracy and physical representation of air?sea surface heat flux estimates for the Indian Ocean on annual, seasonal, and interannual time scales. Six heat flux products were analyzed, including ...
An Improved Near-Surface Specific Humidity and Air Temperature Climatology for the SSM/I Satellite Period
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: near-surface specific humidity (Qa) and air temperature (Ta) climatology on daily and 0.25° grids was constructed by the objectively analyzed air?sea fluxes (OAFlux) project by objectively merging two recent satellite-derived ...
