RISIn Search of Fingerprints of the Recent Intensification of the Ocean Water Cycle
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractUnprecedented changes in Earth?s water budget and a recent boom in salinity observations prompted the use of long-term salinity trends to fingerprint the amount of freshwater entering and leaving the oceans (the ...
Small-Scale Variability in Sea Surface Salinity and Implications for Satellite-Derived Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: alibration and validation efforts of the Aquarius and Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) satellite missions involve comparisons of satellite and in situ measurements of sea surface salinity (SSS). Such estimates of ...
Assessing Temporal Aliasing in Satellite-Based Surface Salinity Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Aquarius/Satelite de Aplicaciones Cientificas-D (SAC-D) salinity remote sensing mission is intended to provide global mapping of sea surface salinity (SSS) fields over the next few years. Temporal and spatial averages ...
Dynamic Adjustment of the Ocean Circulation to Self-Attraction and Loading Effects
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he oceanic response to surface loading, such as that related to atmospheric pressure, freshwater exchange, and changes in the gravity field, is essential to our understanding of sea level variability. In particular, so-called ...
