Abstract: The problem of assimilating satellite altimeter data into an ocean model is considered for the case in which the ocean currents are weak, so that they can be represented by a superposition of linear Rossby waves, and the ...

Abstract: Numerical experiments have been conducted to investigate the effect of updating models of the Indian Ocean using simulated temperature (mass) and velocity data. Two models are used: a linear reduced gravity model with one ...

Abstract: The possibility that the tropical Pacific coupled system linearly amplifies perturbations produced by the Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO) is explored. This requires an estimate of the low-frequency tail of the MJO. Using ...

Abstract: This paper describes a new method, based on a recent analytical model (Hertzian biphasic theory (HBT)), to simultaneously quantify cartilage contact modulus, tension modulus, and permeability. Standard Hertzian creep ...

Abstract: In this work the role that observed intraseasonal atmospheric variability may play in controlling and maintaining ENSO variability is examined. To this end, an asymptotically stable intermediate coupled model of El ...

Abstract: The seasonal dependence of atmospheric short-term climate (i.e., seasonal to interannual) predictability is studied. This is accomplished by analyzing the output from ensemble integrations of the European Centre for ...

Abstract: A common practice in the design of forecast models for ENSO is to couple ocean general circulation models to simple atmospheric models. Therefore, by construction these models (known as hybrid ENSO models) do not resolve ...

Abstract: The Inverse Ocean Modeling (IOM) System is a modular system for constructing and running weak-constraint four-dimensional variational data assimilation (W4DVAR) for any linear or nonlinear functionally smooth dynamical ...
