Coastal-Trapped Waves in the East China Sea Observed by a Mooring Array in Winter 2006
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: sing five mooring array observations in the coastal water of the East China Sea (ECS) in winter 2006, the authors identify three kinds of low-frequency waves using the ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) method. ...
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 ...
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 ...
Cruise Observation of Rossby Waves with Finite Wavelengths Propagating from the Pacific to the South China Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study deals with the physical properties and 3D structures of the wave motions with finite wavelengths of O(100?550) km in the tropical western North Pacific and their variation as propagating from the Pacific to the ...
Diagnosis of 3D Vertical Circulation in the Upwelling and Frontal Zones East of Hainan Island, China
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: sing the generalized omega equation and cruise observations in July 2012, this study analyzes the 3D vertical circulation in the upwelling region and frontal zone east of Hainan Island, China. The results show that there ...
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 ...
A New Method for Estimation of the Sensible Heat Flux under Unstable Conditions Using Satellite Vector Winds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: It has been difficult to estimate the sensible heat flux at the air?sea interface using satellite data because of the difficulty in remotely observing the sea level air temperature. In this study, a new method is developed ...
