Abstract: Given a field of geostrophic winds and at least one pressure observation, a pressure field can be computed. If the winds are in reality gradient winds, then a correction must be applied to calculate the actual geostrophic ...

Abstract: Oceanic surface pressure fields are derived from the NASA Quick Scatterometer (QuikSCAT) surface wind vector measurements using a two-layer similarity planetary boundary layer model in the midlatitudes and a mixed layer ...

Abstract: method for capturing the different dynamical components of the Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO) is presented. The tropical wind field is partitioned into three components using free-space Green?s functions: 1) a nondivergent ...

Abstract: The development of three fronts over the Southern Ocean is described using SeaWinds-on-QuikSCAT scatterometer surface winds and an attribution technique to partition the wind field in three components: nondivergent and ...

Abstract: A method is presented for computing global surface pressure fields from satellite scatterometer winds. Pressure gradients are estimated using a two-layer similarity planetary boundary layer model in the midlatitudes and a ...

Abstract: Storm-track analysis is applied to the meridional winds at 10 m and 850 hPa for the winters of 1999?2006. The analysis is focused on the North Atlantic and North Pacific Ocean basins and the Southern Ocean spanning the ...

Abstract: he Gulf Stream region is a primary location for midlatitude storm cyclogenesis and growth. However, the influence of sea surface temperature (SST) on storms in the region is still under question, particularly after a storm ...
