Detecting Processes Contributing to Interannual Halosteric and Thermosteric Sea Level Variability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n interannual time scales, regional sea level variability is largely determined by changes in the steric component. The relation between the thermosteric and halosteric components is studied by separating the components ...
Generation and Stability of a Quasi-Permanent Vortex in the Lofoten Basin
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In the Nordic seas the Lofoten Basin is a region of high mesoscale activity. The generation mechanism and the conditions for the stability of a quasi-permanent vortex in the center of the Lofoten Basin are studied with a ...
Anomalies of Meridional Overturning: Mechanisms in the North Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Optimal observations are used to investigate the overturning streamfunction in the North Atlantic at 30°N and 900-m depth. Those observations are designed to impact the meridional overturning circulation (MOC) in numerical ...
An Evaluation of the Area Thunderstorm Monitor in an Operational Application
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Medium frequency sferics detection equipment has been used successfully for 10 years. Its usefulness is based an the finding that 95% of the alarms occurred when ≥30 dB(Z) radar echoes were present on a WSR-57 radar. The ...
DETECTION RANGE OF 500-KC./SEC. SFERICS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An investigation of the effective maximum range of detection of 500-kc./sec. sferies was conducted by examining recorded sferies data from widely separated locations and also during times when a circular area surrounding ...
Variability of the Meridional Overturning in the North Atlantic from the 50-Year GECCO State Estimation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The German partner of the consortium for Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean (GECCO) provided a dynamically consistent estimate of the time-varying ocean circulation over the 50-yr period 1952?2001. The ...
A 500-kHz Sferics Range Detector
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The high probability of detecting physically limited sferics pulse energies during some part of the overall lightning process was used in the development of a narrow band receiver-detector range sensor. An rf amplifier and ...
Causes of Decadal Changes of the Freshwater Content in the Arctic Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ecadal changes of the liquid freshwater content in the Arctic Ocean are studied with a suite of forward and adjoint model simulations. Adjoint sensitivities show that freshwater volume changes in the Norwegian Atlantic ...
Decadal Sea Level Changes in the 50-Year GECCO Ocean Synthesis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An estimate of the time-varying ocean circulation, obtained over the period 1952?2001, is analyzed here with respect to its decadal and longer-term changes in sea level. The estimate results from a synthesis of most of the ...
