Structure of the Atlantic Ocean Equatorial Deep Jets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The equatorial deep jets in the Atlantic Ocean are described using vertical strain, ?z, estimated from all available deep CTD stations in the region. Wavelet analysis reveals a distinct energy peak around 661-sdbar vertical ...
Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) in CMIP5 Models: RCP and Historical Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) simulated by 10 models from phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) for the historical (1850?2005) and future climate is examined. The historical ...
Physical Response of the Tropical–Subtropical North Atlantic Ocean to Decadal–Multidecadal Forcing by African Dust
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ust storms are a persistent feature of the tropical North Atlantic and vary over a wide range of temporal scales. While it is well known that mineral aerosols alter the local radiative fluxes, far less is understood about ...
Observational Evidence for Flow between the Subtropical and Tropical Atlantic: The Atlantic Subtropical Cells
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study determines the mean pathways and volume transports in the pycnocline and surface layer for water flowing between the subtropical and tropical Atlantic Ocean, using potential vorticity, salinity, geostrophic flow ...
Observational Evidence for Flow between the Subtropical and Tropical Atlantic: The Atlantic Subtropical Cells
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study determines the mean pathways and volume transports in the pycnocline and surface layer for water flowing between the subtropical and tropical Atlantic Ocean, using potential vorticity, salinity, geostrophic flow ...
The NCEP GODAS Ocean Analysis of the Tropical Pacific Mixed Layer Heat Budget on Seasonal to Interannual Time Scales
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The mixed layer heat budget in the tropical Pacific is diagnosed using pentad (5 day) averaged outputs from the Global Ocean Data Assimilation System (GODAS), which is operational at the National Centers for Environmental ...
Recent Changes in the Pacific Subtropical Cells Inferred from an Eddy-Resolving Ocean Circulation Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this study the subtropical cells (STC) in the Pacific Ocean are analyzed using an eddy-resolving ocean general circulation model driven by atmospheric forcing for the years 1992?2003. In particular, the authors seek to ...
The Kuroshio East of Taiwan: Moored Transport Observations from the WOCE PCM-1 Array
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations from the WOCE PCM-1 moored current meter array east of Taiwan for the period September 1994 to May 1996 are used to derive estimates of the Kuroshio transport at the entrance to the East China Sea. Three ...
The Kuroshio East of Taiwan: Modes of Variability and Relationship to Interior Ocean Mesoscale Eddies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations from the World Ocean Circulation Experiment PCM-1 moored current meter array in the East Taiwan Channel are analyzed and combined with TOPEX/Poseidon altimetry data and the Parallel Ocean Climate Model simulation ...
Saildrone Direct Covariance Wind Stress in Various Wind and Current Regimes of the Tropical Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
