RISLateral Heat Exchange after the Labrador Sea Deep Convection in 2008
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he mechanisms through which convected water restratifies in the Labrador Sea are still under debate. The Labrador Sea restratification after deep convection in the 2007/08 winter is studied with an eddy-resolving numerical ...
The Wind-Induced Wave Growth Rate and the Spectrum of the Gravity-Capillary Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A form of the spectrum of gravity-capillary waves is suggested, based on a balance of the wind input, the spectral flux divergence, the viscous dissipation, and the modulation from the wave-drift interaction. The spectrum ...
Satellite Observations of Upper-Layer Variabilities in the Western Pacific Warm Pool
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The variabilities of the upper layer of the western Pacific warm pool (WPWP) were observed using satellite infrared data from 1982 to 1991 and altimeter data from November 1986 to September 1989. The warm pool was defined ...
Surface Heat Fluxes in the Western Equatorial Pacific Ocean Estimated by Bulk Parameterization and by an Inverse Mixed Layer Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Sea surface heat fluxes in the western equatorial Pacific Ocean estimated by bulk parameterization are compared with fluxes computed with a one-dimensional, level 2.5 turbulence closure inverse mixed layer model. The bulk ...
A New Method for Tracking Meddies by Satellite Altimetry
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ubsurface coherent vortices in the North Atlantic, whose saline water originates from the Mediterranean Sea and which are known as Mediterranean eddies (meddies), have been of particular interest to physical oceanographers ...
Complex Singular Value Decomposition Analysis of Equatorial Waves in the Pacific Observed by TOPEX/Poseidon Altimeter
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The mean of the sea level deviation data derived from the TOPEX/Poseidon altimeter in the equatorial Pacific, between 10°S and 10°N, and between 120°E and 78°W, from cycles 2 to 136 (3 October 1992?2 June 1996), are extracted ...
Characterization of the Variability of the South Pacific Convergence Zone Using Satellite and Reanalysis Wind Products
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he variability of the South Pacific convergence zone (SPCZ) is evaluated using ocean surface wind products derived from the atmospheric reanalysis ERA-Interim for the period of 1981?2014 and QuickSCAT for the period of ...
Centroid Motion of the Western Pacific Warm Pool during Three Recent El Niño–Southern Oscillation Events
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The centroid motion of the Western Pacific warm pool for 1982?83, 1986?87 and 1991?93 El Niño?Southern Oscillation events was investigated by analyzing satellite multichannel sea surface temperature and satellite pathfinder ...
A Numerical Simulation of Wind Stress and Topographic Effects on the Kuroshio Current Path near Taiwan
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A semispectral primitive equation model is used to study the effects of wind stress and bottom topography on the meandering of a jet over the continental margin. The jet is specified initially as a geostrophic current ...
The Mean-Square Slope of Ocean Surface Waves and Its Effects on Radar Backscatter
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The mean-square slope (MSS) of the sea surface for upwind and crosswind is derived, based on Phillips? equilibrium spectrum and the model herein on gravity?capillary wave spectrum. The MSS integrated from the above two ...
