RISLong-Wave Dynamics of Sea Level Variations during Indian Ocean Dipole Events
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Long-wave dynamics of the interannual variations of the equatorial Indian Ocean circulation are studied using an ocean general circulation model forced by the assimilated surface winds and heat flux of the European Centre ...
Heat Budget of the Upper Ocean in the South-Central Equatorial Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The double intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) over the tropical Pacific, with a spurious band of maximum annual sea surface temperature (SST) south of the equator between 5°S and 10°S, is a chronic bias in coupled ...
An Investigation of the Initial Development of the Double-ITCZ Warm SST Biases in the CCSM
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his paper investigates the initial development of the double ITCZ in the Community Climate System Model version 3 (CCSM3) in the central Pacific. Starting from a resting initial condition of the ocean in January, the model ...
Interannual Variability of Barrier Layer in the Tropical Atlantic and Its Relationship with the Tropical Atlantic Modes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Variability of the Oceanic Mixed Layer, 1960–2004
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new monthly uniformly gridded analysis of mixed layer properties based on the World Ocean Atlas 2005 global ocean dataset is used to examine interannual and longer changes in mixed layer properties during the 45-yr period ...
Observed Subseasonal Variability of Oceanic Barrier and Compensated Layers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A monthly gridded analysis of barrier-layer and compensated-layer width based on observed vertical profiles of temperature and salinity and covering the period 1960?2007 is explored for evidence of subseasonal variability ...
Atlantic Warm-Pool Variability in the IPCC AR4 CGCM Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study investigates Atlantic warm pool (AWP) variability in the twentieth century and preindustrial simulations of coupled GCMs submitted to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report ...
Atlantic Warm Pool Variability in the CMIP5 Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study investigates Atlantic warm pool (AWP) variability in the historical run of 19 coupled general circulation models (CGCMs) submitted to phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5). As with the CGCMs ...
Spatial and Seasonal Variations of Submesoscale Eddies in the Eastern Tropical Pacific Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe spatial and seasonal variations of submesoscale eddy activities in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean (2°?12°N, 95°?165°W) are investigated based on a 1/10° ocean general circulation model (OGCM). In the studied ...
Increased Eddy Activity in the Northeastern Pacific during 1993–2011
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe authors study the long-term behaviors of eddy activity in the northeastern Pacific (NEP) and the dynamic mechanism behind them, using the third version of the mesoscale eddy trajectory dataset released by Chelton ...
