RISInverse Analysis Adjustment of the SOC Air–Sea Flux Climatology Using Ocean Heat Transport Constraints
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Results are presented from a linear inverse analysis of the Southampton Oceanography Centre (SOC) air?sea flux climatology using 10 hydrographic ocean heat transport constraints distributed throughout the Atlantic and North ...
Accurate Radiometric Measurement of the Atmospheric Longwave Flux at theSea Surface
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The errors in pyrgeometer measurements of the atmospheric longwave flux at the sea surface due to differential heating of the sensor dome relative to the body and to shortwave leakage through the dome are evaluated. Contrary ...
On the Relationship between the North Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and the Surface-Forced Overturning Streamfunction
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The influence of surface thermohaline forcing on the variability of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (MOC) at mid?high latitudes is investigated using output from three Intergovernmental Panel on Climate ...
Wind Stress Forcing of the Ocean in the SOC Climatology: Comparisons with the NCEP–NCAR, ECMWF, UWM/COADS, and Hellerman and Rosenstein Datasets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Results from an analysis of the Southampton Oceanography Centre (SOC) global wind stress climatology, which is based on in situ reports for the period 1980?93, are presented. The accuracy of the SOC stresses has been ...
New Insights into the Ocean Heat Budget Closure Problem from Analysis of the SOC Air–Sea Flux Climatology
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Results from an analysis of the Southampton Oceanography Centre (SOC) global air?sea heat flux climatology, which has been calculated using in situ weather reports from voluntary observing ships covering the period 1980?93, ...
Large-Scale Atmospheric Circulation Favoring Deep- and Intermediate-Water Formation in the Mediterranean Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: tmospheric circulation patterns that are conducive to extreme ocean heat loss are investigated at four sites of special interest in the Mediterranean Sea. The Gulf of Lions, the South Adriatic Sea, the Cretan Sea, and the ...
Impacts of Climate Modes on Air–Sea Heat Exchange in the Red Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he impacts of various climate modes on the Red Sea surface heat exchange are investigated using the MERRA reanalysis and the OAFlux satellite reanalysis datasets. Seasonality in the atmospheric forcing is also explored. ...
Atmospheric Forcing of the Winter Air–Sea Heat Fluxes over the Northern Red Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he influence of the atmospheric circulation on the winter air?sea heat fluxes over the northern Red Sea is investigated during the period 1985?2011. The analysis based on daily heat flux values reveals that most of the net ...
The Surface-Forced Overturning of the North Atlantic: Estimates from Modern Era Atmospheric Reanalysis Datasets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: stimates of the recent mean and time varying water mass transformation rates associated with North Atlantic surface-forced overturning are presented. The estimates are derived from heat and freshwater surface fluxes and ...
Maintenance and Broadening of the Ocean’s Salinity Distribution by the Water Cycle
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he global water cycle leaves an imprint on ocean salinity through evaporation and precipitation. It has been proposed that observed changes in salinity can be used to infer changes in the water cycle. Here salinity is ...
