The Role of Precipitation and Salinity Effect in Multidecadal Changes and Long-Term Trend of the Indonesian Throughflow
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
“Teddies” and the Origin of the Leeuwin Current
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The outflow from the Indonesian seas empties approximately 5?7 Sv of surface warm (and low salinity) Indonesian Throughflow water into the southern Indian Ocean (at roughly 12°S). Using a nonlinear 1½-layer model with a ...
“Teddies” and the Origin of the Leeuwin Current

Abstract: The outflow from the Indonesian seas empties approximately 5?7 Sv of surface warm (and low salinity) Indonesian Throughflow water into the southern Indian Ocean (at roughly 12°S). Using a nonlinear 1½-layer model with a ...
Location of the Antarctic Polar Front from AMSR-E Satellite Sea Surface Temperature Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The location of the Southern Ocean polar front (PF) is mapped from the first 3 yr of remotely sensed Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for the Earth Observing System (AMSR-E) sea surface temperature (SST) measurements. ...
An Assessment of the Southern Ocean Mixed Layer Heat Budget
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The mixed layer heat balance in the Southern Ocean is examined by combining remotely sensed measurements and in situ observations from 1 June 2002 to 31 May 2006, coinciding with the period during which Advanced Microwave ...

Improving Estimates of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current Streamlines in Drake Passage
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Accurately resolving the mean Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) is essential for determining Southern Ocean eddy fluxes that are important to the global meridional overturning circulation. Previous estimates of the mean ...
Wind-Driven Ageostrophic Transport in the North Equatorial Countercurrent of the Eastern Pacific at 95°W
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations of horizontal velocity from two shipboard acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs), as well as wind, temperature, and salinity observations from a cruise during June?July 2001, are used to compute a simplified ...
In Situ Observations of Madden–Julian Oscillation Mixed Layer Dynamics in the Indian and Western Pacific Oceans
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he boreal winter response of the ocean mixed layer to the Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO) in the Indo-Pacific region is determined using in situ observations from the Argo profiling float dataset. Composite averages over ...
Drake Passage Oceanic pCO2: Evaluating CMIP5 Coupled Carbon–Climate Models Using in situ Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: urface water partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) variations in Drake Passage are examined using decade-long underway shipboard measurements. North of the Polar Front (PF), the observed pCO2 shows a seasonal cycle that peaks ...
