Abstract: A computationally efficient scheme is described for assimilating sea level measured by altimeters and vertical profiles of temperature and salinity measured by Argo floats. The scheme is based on a transformation of ...

Abstract: The flux of heat through the Strait of Gibraltar is known well enough that the Mediterranean Sea may be used as a climate test basin. After adjusting reported winds for changes in observing practice, the COADS for 1946 to ...

Abstract: Satellite observations of sea level and surface wind from the tropical Pacific Ocean, and their relationship to the Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO), are analyzed using a combination of statistical techniques and a simple, ...

Abstract: ilbert empirical orthogonal function analysis is used to provide a frequency-dependent description of observed sea level variability in the Kuroshio Extension region, 1993?2012 inclusive. The dominant high-frequency mode ...

Abstract: he most widely accepted characterization of the Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO) is the bivariate index developed by Wheeler and Hendon. This index relies in part on satellite-based observations of outgoing longwave radiation ...

Abstract: A simple technique for fitting spectra that is applicable to any problem of adjusting a theoretical spectral form to fit observations is described. All one needs is a functional form for the theoretical spectrum and an ...

Abstract: regression-based modeling approach is described for mapping the dependence of atmospheric state variables such as surface air temperature (SAT) on the Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO). For the special case of a linear model ...

Abstract: Thirtten months of hourly sea level data from four stations in the Strait of Gibraltar, along with appropriate atmospheric pressure data, are used to investigate tidal and low-frequency fluctuations in the strait. Apparent ...

Abstract: A new method for tracking ice motion and estimating ocean surface currents from sequential satellite images is presented. It is particularly suited for the marginal ice zone. A simple ice advection model, driven by wind ...

Abstract: On the assumption that the mean velocity and the probability distribution of the higher frequency fluctuating motions are known, an expression for the mean surface stress is given. For the case of isotropic background ...
