RISAnnual Variability of the Subtropical Recirculations in the North Atlantic and North Pacific: A Topex/Poseidon Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Using sea surface height data collected by Geosat and Topex/Poseidon, the seasonal (annual) gyre circulations in the regions of the Gulf Stream and the Kuroshio Extension were studied. The seasonal gyre circulation is ...
On the Sea-State Bias of the Geosat Altimeter
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The sea-state bias in a satellite altimeter's range measurement is caused by the influence of ocean waves on the radar return pulse; it results in an estimate of sea level too low according to some function of the wave ...
Effects of Precipitation on the Upper-Ocean Response to a Hurricane
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The effect of precipitation on the upper-ocean response during a tropical cyclone passage is investigated using a numerical model in this paper. For realistic wind forcing and empirical rain rates based on satellite ...
Annual Rossby Wave in the Southern Indian Ocean: Why Does It “Appear” to Break Down in the Middle Ocean?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Using both altimetry data (TOPEX/Poseidon and Geosat) and Levitus climatology and a linear reduced-gravity model, the authors studied the annual Rossby waves in the southern Indian Ocean from 19° to 9°S. The most striking ...
Annual and Intra-annual Sea Level Variability in the Region of the Kuroshio Extension from TOPEX/POSEIDON and Geosat Altimetry
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Using 4.2 years of sea surface height data collected by the TOPEX/POSEIDON altimeter and 2.3 years of data collected by the Geosat altimeter, the authors study the annual, intra-annual, and linear-trend sea level height ...
