Estimated Global Hydrographic Variability
An estimate is made of the three-dimensional global oceanic temperature and salinity variability, omitting the seasonal cycle, both as a major descriptive element of the ocean circulation and for use in the error estimates of state estimation. Historical hydrography, recent data from the World Ocean Circulation Experiment, and Argo profile data are all used. Root-mean-square vertical displaceme...
متن کاملA 2000-year record of Caribbean and tropical North Atlantic hydrographic variability
[1] Here we present near-annually resolved oxygen isotope records from two species of planktic foraminifera from the Cariaco Basin that reflect sea surface temperature (SST) and Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) precipitation-related salinity variations over the Caribbean and tropical North Atlantic spanning the last 2000 years. A strong, broad spatial pattern of correlation exists between ...
متن کاملOn the variability of African dust transport across the Atlantic
[1] We investigate the interannual variability of Saharan dust transport over the Atlantic by using the TOMS/ Nimbus-7 and TOMS/Earth Probe daily aerosol data. We focus on the winter season, and on the area off the NorthWest African coast (15–30 N, 30–5 W). Previous studies have suggested that the variability of the Saharan dust can be partially explained by the North Atlantic Oscillation. In a...
متن کاملA novel transport assimilation method for the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation at 26◦N
One of the prerequisites for achieving skill in decadal climate prediction is to successfully initialise and predict the circulation in the Atlantic Ocean. The RAPID array measures the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC) at 26◦N. Here we develop a method to include these observations in the UK Met Office Decadal Prediction System (DePreSys). The proposed method uses covariances of...
متن کاملSimulations of Hydrographic Properties in the Northwestern North Atlantic Ocean in Coupled Climate Models
The performance of coupled climate models (CCMs) in simulating the hydrographic structure and variability of the northwestern North Atlantic Ocean, in particular the Labrador and Irminger Seas, has been assessed. This area plays an important role in the meridional overturning circulation. Hydrographic properties of the preindustrial run of eight CCMs used in the Intergovernmental Panel on Clima...
