RISSharp Frontal Interfaces in the Near-Surface Layer of the Ocean in the Western Equatorial Pacific Warm Pool
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the TOGA COARE rich horizontal temperature and salinity variability of the near-surface layer of the ocean in the western Pacific warm pool was observed. High-resolution measurements were made by probes mounted on ...
Observation of Spatial Variability of Diurnal Thermocline and Rain-Formed Halocline in the Western Pacific Warm Pool
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: High-resolution measurements of temperature and salinity were made in the near-surface layer of the ocean during the Tropical Oceans-Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment, using probes mounted on ...
The Bifurcation of the North Equatorial Current in the Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new climatology using historical temperature and salinity data in the western Pacific is constructed to examine the bifurcation of the North Equatorial Current (NEC). Integrating dynamically calculated circulation from ...
The Annual Rossby Wave in the Central Equatorial Pacific Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We attribute observed annual variations in the subthermocline thermal structure of the central equatorial Pacific to a forced gravest-meridional-mode Rossby wave. In the region between 300 and 800 m (where the Väisälä ...
TOGA COARE: The Coupled Ocean—Atmosphere Response Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Despite significant progress in the Tropical Ocean?Global Atmosphere (TOGA) program, a number of major hurdles remain before the primary objective, prediction of the variability of the coupled ocean?atmosphere system on ...
The Low-Frequency Drift of Paroscientific Pressure Transducers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Sea Data pressure gauges were used in 1985 and 1986 in the central equatorial Pacific Ocean to record subsurface pressure. These gauges were equipped with Paroscientific Digiquartz pressure transducers which suffered ...
The Southward Intrusion of North Pacific Intermediate Water along the Mindanao Coast
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A tongue of low salinity intermediate water was observed along the coast of Mindanao during the WEPOCS III experiment in June and July 1988. The tongue, delineated by a discontinuity in ??S relations, is a southward intrusion ...
The Latitude-Frequency Structure of Pacific Sea Level Variance
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We report an unprecedented description of the latitudinal structure of tropical Pacific Ocean sea level variability for time scales between 3 and 100 days. A plot of calculated sea level variance latitude and frequency is ...
Westward Propagation of Annual Sea Level and Wind Signals in the Western Pacific Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The annual cycle of sea level variability is examined for the period 1976?1985 at seven stations that lie along the mere axis (near 7°N)) of the north equatorial countercurrent (NECC) sea level trough in the western Pacific. ...
The Interface or Air–Sea Flux Component of the TOGA Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere Response Experiment and Its Impact on Subsequent Air–Sea Interaction Studies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The interface or air?sea flux component of the Coupled Ocean?Atmosphere Response Experiment (COARE) of the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere (TOGA) research program and its subsequent impact on studies of air?sea interaction ...
