Modes of mesoscale sea surface height and temperature variability in the East Australian Current
[1] Mesoscale variability where the East Australian Current (EAC) separates from the coast is studied using sea surface temperature and surface velocity streamfunction observed by satellite and a regional numerical model. The mean circulation simulated by the model (the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS)) is compared to a high-resolution regional climatology, and the realism of the simulated...
متن کاملSea surface temperature variability: patterns and mechanisms.
Patterns of sea surface temperature (SST) variability on interannual and longer timescales result from a combination of atmospheric and oceanic processes. These SST anomaly patterns may be due to intrinsic modes of atmospheric circulation variability that imprint themselves upon the SST field mainly via surface energy fluxes. Examples include SST fluctuations in the Southern Ocean associated wi...
متن کاملThe Relation among Sea Ice, Surface Temperature, and Atmospheric Circulation in Simulations of Future Climate
Observations document substantial 20-40 year trends in the past several decades in the Arctic. Studies show sea ice thickness and extent have declined, air temperature has increased, and the temperature and salinity of the upper ocean have increased (e.g., see Serreze et al., 2000). At the same time, we have seen a weakening of the tropospheric anticyclone over the Beaufort Sea that can be asso...
متن کاملJoint Variability of Global Runoff and Global Sea Surface Temperatures
Global land surface runoff and sea surface temperatures (SST) are analyzed to identify the primary modes of variability of these hydroclimatic data for the period 1905–2002. A monthly water-balance model first is used with global monthly temperature and precipitation data to compute time series of annual gridded runoff for the analysis period. The annual runoff time series data are combined wit...
متن کاملA Statistical Analysis of Global Inter-Annual Climate Anomalies in Monthly Sea Surface Temperature Records
Warm and cold deviations from the annual sea surface temperature climate in the eastern tropical Pacific have a wide significance. Numerous reports have examined connections between these so-called El-Nino and La-Nina events and anomalies in local climate in areas well removed from eastern extra-tropical Pacific. The analysis of climate anomalies is statistical in nature. We consider a global d...
