Sea Level Variations Due to Equatorial Rossby Waves Associated with El Nin˜o
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Interannual variations of sea level in the tropical Pacific are examined in relation to the El Nin?o phenomenon. The amplitude of equatorial Rossby waves forced by wind and the sea level due to the waves are calculated ...
Model Study of Flow Conditions Causing the Large Meander of the Kuroshio South of Japan
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The upstream conditions for large-meander (LM) and non-large-meander (NLM) paths of the Kuroshio south of Japan were examined by calculating the current axis with a steady model imposed upstream flow conditions at the ...
Variations of Current Path, Velocity, and Volume Transport of the Kuroshio in Relation with the Large Meander
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The variations of the Kuroshio Current path and their relations with current velocity, volume transport, and upstream position of the Kuroshio are examined using sea level data. After the long-time, non-large-meander (NLM) ...
Variability and Linkages of New Guinea Coastal Undercurrent and Lower Equatorial Intermediate Current
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Velocity at depths of 700?800 m was measured between September 1998 and October 2002 at 2.5°S, 142°E off the New Guinea coast and at 0°, 138°E to examine the New Guinea Coastal Undercurrent (NGCUC) and the current on the ...
