Abstract: Ordinary least-squares is used to estimate the accuracy of monthly averaged sea surface temperature products in the eastern near-equatorial Pacific. Daytime multichannel sea surface temperature (MCSST) data, nighttime MCSST ...

Abstract: A technique that uses satellite-based surface wind and temperature soundings for deriving three-dimensional atmospheric wind fields is developed for climate studies over the middle- and high-latitude oceans. In this ...

Abstract: Poleward meridional moisture transport across the Southern Ocean during 1988 is investigated by applying conservation of mass to the wind derivation approach of Slonaker and Van Woert. The moisture field is from the ...

Abstract: The spatial and temporal variability of net precipitation (precipitation minus evaporation/sublimation) for Antarctica derived from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts operational analyses via the ...

Abstract: Moisture budget calculations for Antarctica and the Southern Ocean (40°?72deg;S) are performed using operational numerical analyses from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), the National ...

Abstract: Moisture fields from the NCEP?DOE reanalysis-2 (R-2) and Television Infrared Observational Satellite (TIROS) Operational Vertical Sounder (TOVS) Pathfinder A are validated using the Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I) ...

Abstract: The National Ice Center relies upon a coupled ice?ocean model called the Polar Ice Prediction System (PIPS) to provide guidance for its 24?120-h sea ice forecasts. Here forecast skill assessments of the sea ice concentration ...
