Abstract: The Antarctic Oscillation (AAO) is the leading mode of atmospheric variability in the Southern Hemisphere mid- and high latitudes (south of 20°S). In this paper, the authors examine its statistical relationships with the ...

Abstract: The response of the marine atmospheric boundary layer to the strong sea surface temperature (SST) gradient across the warm Agulhas Current was studied in the Agulhas Current Air?Sea Exchange Experiment, south of Port Alfred, ...

Abstract: The Agulhas Current is the major western boundary current of the Southern Hemisphere. South of Africa it retroflects back into the southwest Indian Ocean, transporting relatively warm water into the midlatitudes. Large ...

Abstract: Extreme warm episodes in the southeast Atlantic Ocean, known as Benguela Niños, have devastating environmental impacts and have been shown to be remotely forced. To place these extreme events into perspective, the investigation ...

Abstract: Ocean?atmosphere interaction above warm western boundary currents such as the Gulf Stream, the Kuroshio Current, and the Agulhas Current often leads to very high evaporation rates. In the case of the Agulhas Current, which ...
