RISEddy–Wind Interaction in the California Current System: Dynamics and Impacts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he summertime California Current System (CCS) is characterized by energetic mesoscale eddies, whose sea surface temperature (SST) and surface current can significantly modify the wind stress and Ekman pumping. Relative ...
The Scripps Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere Regional (SCOAR) Model, with Applications in the Eastern Pacific Sector
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A regional coupled ocean?atmosphere model is introduced. It is designed to admit the air?sea feedbacks arising in the presence of an oceanic mesoscale eddy field. It consists of the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) ...
On the Predominant Nonlinear Response of the Extratropical Atmosphere to Meridional Shifts of the Gulf Stream
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe North Atlantic atmospheric circulation response to the meridional shifts of the Gulf Stream (GS) path is examined using a large ensemble of high-resolution hemispheric-scale Weather Research and Forecasting ...
Precipitation from African Easterly Waves in a Coupled Model of the Tropical Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A regional coupled climate model is configured for the tropical Atlantic to explore the role of synoptic-scale African easterly waves (AEWs) on the simulation of mean precipitation in the marine intertropical convergence ...
Seasonal Effects of Indian Ocean Freshwater Forcing in a Regional Coupled Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Effects of freshwater forcing from river discharge into the Indian Ocean on oceanic vertical structure and the Indian monsoons are investigated using a fully coupled, high-resolution, regional climate model. The effect of ...
ENSO’s Impact on the Gap Wind Regions of the Eastern Tropical Pacific Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he recently released NCEP Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR) is used to examine the response to ENSO in the northeast tropical Pacific Ocean (NETP) during 1979?2009. The normally cool Pacific sea surface temperatures ...
Coupled Impacts of the Diurnal Cycle of Sea Surface Temperature on the Madden–Julian Oscillation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study quantifies, from a systematic set of regional ocean?atmosphere coupled model simulations employing various coupling intervals, the effect of subdaily sea surface temperature (SST) variability on the onset and ...
Feedback of Tropical Instability-Wave-Induced Atmospheric Variability onto the Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The effects of atmospheric feedbacks on tropical instability waves (TIWs) in the equatorial Atlantic Ocean are examined using a regional high-resolution coupled climate model. The analysis from a 6-yr hindcast from 1999 ...
Distinct Mechanisms of Decadal Subsurface Heat Content Variations in the Eastern and Western Indian Ocean Modulated by Tropical Pacific SST
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractDecadal variability of the subsurface ocean heat content (OHC) in the Indian Ocean is investigated using a coupled climate model experiment, in which observed eastern tropical Pacific sea surface temperature (EPSST) ...
Impacts of Ocean Currents on the South Indian Ocean Extratropical Storm Track through the Relative Wind Effect
