Abstract: The spatial and temporal variability of the southwest Pacific Ocean is examined with the aim of describing the physical processes operating on interannual and decadal timescales. The study takes advantage of a new temperature ...

Abstract: Observed changes in temperature and salinity properties on isopycnals across hydrographic sections throughout the Indo-Pacific are compared with the changes modeled by the coupled climate model, HadCM3. Observations show ...

Abstract: This paper presents a modified objective mapping technique that takes advantage of the strong vertical correlations in ocean temperature profiles. This technique has been used here successfully to generate a uniformly ...

Abstract: In the Indian Ocean subtropical gyre, historical temperature, salinity, and oxygen data with a median date of 1962 are compared with a hydrographic section taken at a mean latitude of 32°S in October?November 1987. Significant ...

Abstract: Climatological monthly upper-ocean temperature anomalies from the annual mean in the subtropical southwest Pacific Ocean show a characteristic out-of-phase relationship between the mixed layer and the underlying water. The ...

Abstract: Changes in the temperature, salinity, and subduction of Subantarctic Mode Water (SAMW) and Antarctic Intermediate Water (AAIW) between the 1950s and 2090s are diagnosed using the CSIRO Mark version 3.5 (Mk3.5) climate ...

Abstract: A multimodel comparison method is used to assess the sensitivity of Subantarctic Mode Water (SAMW) and Antarctic Intermediate Water (AAIW) formation to climate change. For the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change A2 ...

Abstract: A near-global ocean model with resolution enhanced in the southern Indian Ocean has been spun up to seasonal equilibrium and then driven by NCEP?NCAR reanalysis 1 monthly mean forcings and Hadley SSTs over the period ...
