Abstract: The barotropic intraseasonal variability in the Australia?Antarctic Basin (AAB) is studied in terms of the excitation and decay of topographically trapped barotropic modes. The main objective is to reconcile two widely ...

Abstract: Origins of the seasonal variability observed in current meter data from the Malvinas (Falkland) Current are sought in the wind field on both a regional and circumpolar scale. A singular value decomposition of the covariance ...

Abstract: Processes responsible for the seasonal and interannual variations of the sea surface temperature as well as of the heat content of the upper ocean (0?400 m) in the Kuroshio Extension region are examined from a 3D ...

Abstract: Observations of the sea surface height in the Argentine Basin indicate that strong variability occurs on a time scale of 20?30 days. The aim of this study is to determine the physical processes responsible for this ...

Abstract: In this paper the spectrum of barotropic basin modes of the Argentine Basin is shown to be connected to the classical Rossby basin modes of a flat-bottom (constant depth), rectangular basin. First, the spectrum of basin ...

Abstract: n the basis of a new East Asian winter monsoon (EAWM) index and by analyzing the relationship between sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies and different atmospheric and oceanic factors in winter, this study investigates ...

Abstract: he East Asian winter monsoon (EAWM) and the North Pacific Oscillation (NPO) constitute two outstanding surface atmospheric circulation patterns affecting the winter sea surface temperature (SST) variability in the western ...

Abstract: he overturning circulation of the Southern Ocean has been investigated using eddying coupled ocean?sea ice models. The circulation is diagnosed in both density?latitude coordinates and in depth?density coordinates. ...
