RISNorth Atlantic Subpolar Gyre Surface Variability (1895–2009)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Surface temperature, salinity, and density are examined in the northeastern part of the North Atlantic subpolar gyre over the last 115 years of measurements. This region presents coherent variability in space but also ...
The Dynamical Structure of the Planetary Boundary Layer over the Arabian Sea, as Deduced from Constant-Level Balloon Trajectories
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During Summer 1979, 88 super-pressure constant-level balloons were launched at the nominal flight level of 900 mb from the Seychelles Islands and from the northern tip fo the Malagasy Republic as part of the French ...
Heat and Mass Budgets of the Warm Upper Layer of the Tropical Atlantic Ocean in 1979–99
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The mass and heat budgets of the warm upper-ocean layer are investigated in the equatorial Atlantic using in situ observations during the period 1979?99, which encompassed a series of warm events in the equatorial Atlantic. ...
Vertical Structure of the Seasonal Cycle in the Central Equatorial Atlantic Ocean: XBT Sections from 1980 to 1988
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A set of temperature profiles from expendable bathythermographs collected from 1980 to April 1988 along two ship routes transecting the equatorial Atlantic from 11°N to 11°S is analyzed to inter the vertical structure of ...
XBT Temperature Errors during French Research Cruises (1999–2007)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Data from French cruises in 1999?2007, a period during which Deep Blue (DB) or T7 expendable bathythermographs (XBTs) were deployed, and for which ancillary temperature data are available in the northeast Atlantic and ...
Empirical Correction of XBT Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he authors use a collocation method between XBT and CTD/Ocean Station Data (OSD; including bottle cast and low-resolution CTD) from World Ocean Database 2005 (WOD2005) to statistically correct the XBT fall rate. An analysis ...
The Aeroclipper: A New Device to Explore Convective Systems and Cyclones
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the Validation of the Aeroclipper System under Convective Occurrences (VASCO) test experiment in January and February 2007, eight Aeroclipper prototypes were launched from Mahé Island in the tropical Indian Ocean. ...
Surface Salinity Measurements—COSMOS 2005 Experiment in the Bay of Biscay
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Sea surface salinity (SSS) data were collected in the Bay of Biscay between April and November 2005. The major source of data is 15 surface drifters deployed during the COSMOS experiment in early April and early May 2005 ...
Temperature Measurements from Surface Drifters
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The accuracy of temperature measurements from drifters is first examined for 16 drifters (manufactured either by Metocean Data Systems or by Pacific Gyre) deployed with two temperature sensors in the tropical or North ...
A New Platform for the Determination of Air–Sea Fluxes (OCARINA): Overview and First Results
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he present paper describes a new type of floating platform that was specifically designed for estimating air?sea fluxes, investigating turbulence characteristics in the atmospheric surface boundary layer, and studying ...
