High-latitude forcing of regional aridification along the subtropical west coast of South America
[1] Precipitation in north-central (subtropical) Chile has been declining over the last 130 years. This is of concern in a region where precipitation is already low and which hosts considerable economic activity and a large population. Interannual variability of precipitation is primarily controlled by ENSO, but the reasons for the increasing aridity have remained elusive. Here we show that the...
متن کاملRayleigh-Wave Multipathing along the West Coast of North America
We have created a movie of surface ground motion for the 3 November 2002 Denali fault earthquake based on spectral-element simulations using crustal model CRUST2.0, mantle model S20RTS, topography and bathymetry model ETOPO5, and a finite-fault slip model. The movie features two anomalous wave packets that travel along the west coast of the North American plate following offgreat-circle paths. ...
متن کاملObservations of meteorological tsunamis along the south-west Australian coast
Tide gauge data were used to identify the occurrence, characteristics, and cause of tsunamis of meteorological origin (termed ‘meteotsunamis’) along the Western Australian coast. This is the first study to identify meteotsunamis in this region, and the results indicated that they occur frequently. Although meteotsunamis are not catastrophic to the extent of major seismically induced basin-scale...

15 صفحه اولShip Observations of the Tropical Pacific Ocean along the Coast of South America
In October 2007 the NOAA ship Ronald H. Brown sailed southward within 300 km of the coast of Ecuador and Peru, sampling surface meteorology, air–sea turbulent and radiative fluxes, cloud properties, and upper-air soundings from the equator to 208S. Two distinct water masses characterize the coastal region: cold-pool water below 198C in the Southern Hemisphere, and warm-pool water above 208C to ...
