What Determines the East Asian Winter Temperature during El Niño?—Role of the Early Onset El Niño and Tropical Indian Ocean Warming
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Baroclinic Instability in High Latitudes Induced by Polar Vortex: A Connection to the Arctic Oscillation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this study, baroclinic instability of the northern winter atmosphere is investigated in the context of the dynamical interpretation of the Arctic oscillation. The unstable solutions, obtained by a method of 3D normal ...
Wave- and Anemometer-Based Sea Surface Wind (WASWind) for Climate Change Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Ship-based measurements of sea surface wind speed display a spurious upward trend due to increases in anemometer height. To correct this bias, the authors constructed a new sea surface wind dataset from ship observations ...
Atmospheric Effects of the Kuroshio Large Meander during 2004–05
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In the summer of 2004, the Kuroshio took a large meander path south of Japan for the first time since 1991, and this large meander event persisted until the next summer. Satellite observations and numerical model simulations ...
SST-Induced Surface Wind Variations over the Brazil–Malvinas Confluence: Satellite and In Situ Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The confluence of the Brazil?Malvinas Currents maintains strong sea surface temperature (SST) fronts in the midlatitude southwestern Atlantic year-round. SST effects on near-surface stability and surface wind variations ...
ENSO Influence on the Atlantic Niño, Revisited: Multi-Year versus Single-Year ENSO Events
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe influence of El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on the Atlantic Niño over the past 113 years is investigated by comparing multi-year and single-year ENSO events. Multi-year ENSO events sustain an anomalous ...
Cloud Response to the Meandering Kuroshio Extension Front
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: unique set of observations on board research vessel (R/V) Mirai in April 2010 captured a striking cloud hole over a cold meander of the Kuroshio Extension (KE) east of Japan as corroborated by atmospheric soundings, ...
Sea Level Pressure Minimum along the Kuroshio and Its Extension
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: tmospheric effects of sea surface temperature (SST) fronts along the Kuroshio and Kuroshio Extension (K-KE) are investigated by examining spatial characteristics of the climatological sea level pressure (SLP), surface winds ...
Interannual Variability of High-Wind Occurrence over the North Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: nterannual variability of high-wind occurrence over the North Atlantic is investigated based on observations from the satellite-borne Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I). Despite no wind direction being included, SSM/I ...
Interdecadal Difference of Interannual Variability Characteristics of South China Sea SSTs Associated with ENSO
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he correlation between sea surface temperature (SST) and El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) persists into post-ENSO September over the South China Sea (SCS), the longest correlation in the World Ocean. Slow modulations ...
