Hemispheric Asymmetry in the Ventilated Thermocline of the Tropical Pacific
To understand sources of variability in the eastern equatorial Pacific, a region integral to modulating global temperatures, the waters upwelling from the Equatorial Undercurrent (EUC) are characterized. Past work is updated using temperature and salinity measurements from the Argo array and current measurements from Tropical Atmosphere Ocean (TAO) buoys. A larger hemispheric asymmetry is found...
متن کاملResponse of the tropical Pacific to changes in extratropical clouds
A decrease in cloud cover over higher latitudes—a decrease in the extratropical albedo—especially over the Southern Ocean, can result in an extratropical and tropical warming with the intensity of the equatorial cold tongues in the Pacific and Atlantic basins decreasing. These results, obtained by means of a coupled ocean–atmosphere model of intermediate complexity that allow the prescription o...

متن کاملReactive nitrogen over the tropical western Pacific: Influence from lightning and biomass burning during BIBLE A
[1] The Biomass Burning and Lightning Experiment phase A (BIBLE A) aircraft campaign was carried out over the tropical western Pacific in September and October 1998. During this period, biomass burning activity in Indonesia was quite weak. Mixing ratios of NOx and NOy in air masses that had crossed over the Indonesian islands within 3 days prior to the measurement (Indonesian air masses) were s...
متن کاملVariability of residence time in the Tropical Tropopause Layer during Northern Hemisphere winter
For the first time the long-term interannual and spatial variability of residence time (τ ) is presented for the TTL between 360 K and 400 K potential temperature (∼14 to 18 km altitude). The analysis is based on a Lagrangian approach using offline calculated diabatic heating rates as vertical velocities, covering Northern Hemisphere (NH) winters from 1962–2004. The residence time τLCP−400 K, b...
