RISIntraseasonal Variability in the South Equatorial Current of the East Indian Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Satellite altimeter data reveal that the strongest intraseasonal variability in the southeast Indian Ocean occurs in the South Equatorial Current (SEC) during the second half of the year. The length scale of the variability ...
An Intersection of Oceanic Waveguides: Variability in the Indonesian Throughflow Region
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Temperature and sea level variability within the Indonesian seas and southeast Indian Ocean are described based on expendable bathythermograph deployments along volunteer merchant shipping lines under way since 1983. These ...
A Semiautomated Approach for Quality Controlling Large Historical Ocean Temperature Archives
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper describes a method consisting of both automated statistical screening and manual quality control through expert visual inspection, which produces a historical ocean temperature archive of high quality?that is, ...
Fifty-Year Trends in Global Ocean Salinities and Their Relationship to Broad-Scale Warming
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Using over 1.6 million profiles of salinity, potential temperature, and neutral density from historical archives and the international Argo Program, this study develops the three-dimensional field of multidecadal linear ...
Simulations of Processes Associated with the Fast Warming Rate of the Southern Midlatitude Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Significant warming has occurred across many of the world?s oceans throughout the latter part of the twentieth-century. The increase in the oceanic heat content displays a considerable spatial difference, with a maximum ...
A 20-Yr Average of the Indonesian Throughflow: Regional Currents and the Interbasin Exchange
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Twenty years of monthly or more frequent repeat expendable bathythermograph data are used to estimate the mean geostrophic velocity and transport relative to 750 m of the Indonesian Throughflow (ITF) and its partitioning ...
In Situ Observations of Madden–Julian Oscillation Mixed Layer Dynamics in the Indian and Western Pacific Oceans
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he boreal winter response of the ocean mixed layer to the Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO) in the Indo-Pacific region is determined using in situ observations from the Argo profiling float dataset. Composite averages over ...
Nonlinear Effects of Tropical Instability Waves on the Equatorial Pacific Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In a numerical model of the equatorial Pacific Ocean, the ?20-day period tropical instability waves, excited in the eastern half of the domain, are found to damp the strong zonal mean currents. The waves generate large, ...
Time, Probe Type, and Temperature Variable Bias Corrections to Historical Expendable Bathythermograph Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ystematic biases in historical expendable bathythermograph (XBT) data are examined using two datasets: 4151 XBT?CTD side-by-side pairs from 1967 to 2011 and 218 653 global-scale XBT?CTD pairs (within one month and 1°) ...
Biases in Expendable Bathythermograph Data: A New View Based on Historical Side-by-Side Comparisons
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ecause they make up 56% of ocean temperature profile data between 1967 and 2001, quantifying the biases in expendable bathythermograph (XBT) data is fundamental to understanding the evolution of the planetary energy and ...
