Dynamics of Intraseasonal Sea Level and Thermocline Variability in the Equatorial Atlantic during 2002–03
Satellite and in situ observations in the equatorial Atlantic Ocean during 2002–03 show dominant spectral peaks at 40–60 days and secondary peaks at 10–40 days in sea level and thermocline within the intraseasonal period band (10–80 days). A detailed investigation of the dynamics of the intraseasonal variations is carried out using an ocean general circulation model, namely, the Hybrid Coordina...
متن کاملEffects of ocean thermocline variability on noncoherent underwater acoustic communications.
The performance of acoustic modems in the ocean is strongly affected by the ocean environment. A storm can drive up the ambient noise levels, eliminate a thermocline by wind mixing, and whip up violent waves and thereby break up the acoustic mirror formed by the ocean surface. The combined effects of these and other processes on modem performance are not well understood. The authors have been c...
متن کاملOn the Seasonal Cycle of the Equatorial Atlantic Ocean
Although the seasonal cycle of the equatorial Atlantic and Pacific Oceans have many similarities, for example, an annual signal is dominant at the equator even though the sun ‘‘crosses’’ the equator twice a year, different processes determine the seasonal cycles of the two oceans and in the Atlantic different processes are important in the east and west. In the Gulf of Guinea in the eastern equ...
متن کاملCoupled Aspect of Atlantic Ocean-Atmosphere Variability
This report is based on an overview talk given at the CLIVAR workshop on Shallow tropical/subtropical overturning cells and their interactions with the atmosphere that took place in Venice, Italy, October 9-13, 2000. After briefly touching upon observational studies, this report reviews the recent progress in coupled modeling of tropical Atlantic variability (TAV). This is followed by a discu...
متن کاملIntrinsic Ocean–Atmosphere Variability of the Tropical Atlantic Ocean
The tropical Atlantic variability is composed of three major patterns of significant importance for variability and predictability of climate in the Atlantic sector. They are the southern tropical Atlantic (STA) pattern with anomalous sea surface temperature (SST) fluctuations expanding from the Angolan coast to the central equatorial ocean, the northern tropical Atlantic (NTA) pattern centered...
