RISAir–Sea Interactions in the Tropical Atlantic: A View Based on Lagged Rotated Maximum Covariance Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The dominant air?sea feedbacks that are at play in the tropical Atlantic are revisited, using the 1958?2002 NCEP reanalysis. To separate between different modes of variability and distinguish between cause and effect, a ...
Observed Atlantic SST Anomaly Impact on the NAO: An Update
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Pan-Atlantic sea surface temperature (SST) anomaly pattern that was found in a previous study to have a significant impact on the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) in early winter seemed to reflect the nearly uncorrelated ...
Sea Surface Salinity Reemergence in an Updated North Atlantic In Situ Salinity Dataset

Subthermocline and Intermediate Zonal Currents in the Tropical Pacific Ocean: Paths and Vertical Structure
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe mean subthermocline and intermediate zonal circulation in the tropical Pacific is investigated using a compilation of shipboard ADCP measurements and absolute geostrophic velocities constructed from a high-resolution ...
Annual Reversal of the Equatorial Intermediate Current in the Pacific: Observations and Model Diagnostics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A large reversal of zonal transport below the thermocline was observed over a period of 6 months in the western Pacific Ocean between 2°S and the equator [from 26.2 Sv (1 Sv ≡ 106 m3 s?1) eastward in October 1999 to 28.6 ...
Zonal Jets Entering the Coral Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The South Equatorial Current (SEC) entering the Coral Sea through the gap between New Caledonia and the Solomon Islands was observed by an autonomous underwater vehicle (Spray glider) and an overlapping oceanographic cruise ...
