Atmospheric Response to the Gulf Stream: Seasonal Variations*
The atmospheric response to the Gulf Stream front in sea surface temperature is investigated using highresolution data from satellite observations and operational analysis and forecast. Two types of atmospheric response are observed with different seasonality and spatial distribution. In winter, surface wind convergence is strong over the Gulf Stream proper between Cape Hatteras and the Great B...
متن کاملPrecipitation Response to the Gulf Stream in an Atmospheric GCM*
The precipitation response to sea surface temperature (SST) gradients associated with the Gulf Stream is investigated using an atmospheric general circulation model. Forced by observed SST, the model simulates a narrow band of precipitation, surface convergence, and evaporation that closely follows the Gulf Stream, much like satellite observations. Such a Gulf Stream rainband disappears in the ...
متن کاملSeasonal variations in the Amazon plume-related atmospheric carbon sink
[1] The Amazon River plume is a highly seasonal feature that can reach more than 3000 km across the tropical Atlantic Ocean, and cover 2 million km. Ship observations show that its seasonal presence significantly reduces sea surface salinity and inorganic carbon. In the western tropical North Atlantic during April–May 2003, plume-influenced stations exhibited surface DIC concentrations lowered ...
متن کاملSeasonal variations of the atmospheric temperature structure at South Pole
[1] Fe/Rayleigh lidar measurements are combined with the high-altitude balloonsonde data and used to characterize the seasonal variations of atmospheric temperature at South Pole from the surface (2.835 km) to 110 km altitude. Twelve-month oscillations, associated with solar UV absorption by ozone, dominate the seasonal variations of temperature throughout the stratosphere and lower mesosphere ...
متن کامل4 The Gulf Stream System
N. P. Fofonoff In the two decades since the first publication of Stommel's (1965) monograph on the Gulf Stream, our knowledge of the Gulf Stream System has been expanded dramatically through the development and application of new, powerful measuring techniques. Multiple ship surveys of the type organized by Fuglister (1963) provided the first systematic descriptions of the spatial structure bet...
