RISThe Upper Equatorial Indian Ocean. The Climatological Seasonal Cycle
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The climatological seasonal cycle of the upper equatorial Indian Ocean is discussed. A summary of the observations is given. Near the surface and below the equatorial thermocline, the observations indicate an intense ...
A Statistical Method for Correcting Salinity Observations from Autonomous Profiling Floats: An ARGO Perspective
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Profiling Autonomous Lagrangian Circulation Explorer (PALACE) float is used to implement the Array for Real-Time Geostrophic Oceanography (ARGO). This study presents a statistical approach to correct salinity measurement ...
The Monsoon over the Indian Ocean during Summer 1975. Part I: Mean Fields
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An assimillaiion of surface data collected from ship reports, land and islands stations during summer 1975 is presented. The domain of this study is the summer MONEX area (35?100°E, 25°N-25°S) and the period covers May, ...
Near-Surface Meanders in the Equatorial Indian Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Drifting buoys were released in the western Indian Ocean from 1979 to 1982. They reveal meanders of the eastward flowing monsoon drift in August?September 1979, 1980 and 1981. Oscillating meridional buoy drifts reach 80 ...
Contribution of Horizontal Advection to the Interannual Variability of Sea Surface Temperature in the North Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The interannual variability of sea surface temperature (SST) in the North Atlantic is investigated from October 1992 to October 1999 with special emphasis on analyzing the contribution of horizontal advection to this ...
The Near Surface Equatorial Indian Ocean in 1979. Part I: Linear Dynamics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Different wind field analyses are used to force a one layer adiabatic model of the near equatorial surface circulation in the Indian Ocean in 1979. The model simulates the major features of the observations: eastward jets ...
Vertically Propagating Annual and Interannual Variability in an OGCM Simulation of the Tropical Pacific Ocean in 1985–94
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The annual and interannual variability in the subthermocline equatorial Pacific is studied in a simulation of the tropical Pacific for the 1985?94 decade using a primitive equation high-resolution model. The study focuses ...
Generation Mechanism of Spiciness Anomalies: An OGCM Analysis in the North Atlantic Subtropical Gyre
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Oceanic teleconnections between the low and midlatitudes are a key mechanism to understanding the climate variability. Spiciness anomalies (density-compensated anomalies) have been shown to transport temperature and salinity ...
Interannual Variability of the Mixed Layer Winter Convection and Spice Injection in the Eastern Subtropical North Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Argo dataset is used to study the winter upper-ocean conditions in the northeastern subtropical (NEA) Atlantic during 2006?12. During late winter 2010, the mixed layer depth is abnormally shallow and a negative anomaly ...
Formation and Propagation of Temperature Anomalies along the North Atlantic Current
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A general circulation ocean model has been used to study the formation and propagation mechanisms of North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO)-generated temperature anomalies along the pathway of the North Atlantic Current (NAC). ...
