Abstract: imulation and prediction of the South Asian summer monsoon in a climate model remain a challenge despite intense efforts by the atmosphere and ocean research community. Because the phenomenon arises from the interaction ...

Abstract: sing five mooring array observations in the coastal water of the East China Sea (ECS) in winter 2006, the authors identify three kinds of low-frequency waves using the ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) method. ...

Abstract: ecent global warming hiatus has received much attention; however, a robust and quantitative definition for the hiatus is still lacking. Recent studies by Scafetta, Wu et al., and Tung and Zhou showed that multidecadal ...

Abstract: The empirical features of surface drift currents induced by both mechanical and wind waves are presented. The measurements were made by using surface floats in a large tank with dimensions of 32.5 × 1 × 2 m3. Three cases ...

Abstract: AbstractIncreased heat storage in deep oceans has been proposed to account for the slowdown of global surface warming since the end of the twentieth century. How the imbalanced heat at the surface has been redistributed ...

Abstract: AbstractThe impact of ocean surface waves on wind stress at the air?sea interface under low to moderate wind conditions was systematically investigated based on a simple constant flux model and flux measurements obtained ...

Abstract: Mixing induced by nonbreaking surface waves was investigated in a wave tank by measuring the thermal destratification rate of the water column. One experiment without waves and four experiments with waves of amplitudes ...
