Lagrangian statistics in the central North Pacific
Lagrangian integral scales, diffusivities, dispersion and velocity spectra are calculated using surface drifter trajectories in the central North Pacific. The meridional integral time scale is relatively homogeneous throughout the region; a large increase in the zonal time and length scales south of Hawaii is attributed to meanders in the North Equatorial Current. Except in this current, the in...
متن کاملCenozoic Climate ^ Oxygen Isotope Evidence
Discoveries of fossil remains of 50 million year old alligators on Ellesmere Island and 30}40 million year-old forests on Antarctica contrast sharply with our present vision of polar climates. These are not isolated discoveries or quirks of nature. An evergrowing body of faunal, Soral, and geochemical evidence shows that the Rrst half of the Cenozoic Era was much warmer than the present time. W...
متن کاملRadiation Measurements over the Equatorial Central Pacific
During the Line Islands Experiment in spring 1967, surface shortwave and net radiation was continuously recorded a t Palmyra, and Suomi-Kuhn infrared radiationsondes were released daily at the islands of Palmyra, (5’53’ N., 162’05’ W.) and Christmas (1’59’ N., 157’22’ W.) as part of an extensive surface and upper air observation program. Data are evaluated in terms of the diurnal march of the s...
متن کاملDeep water formation in the North Pacific and deglacial CO2 rise
Deep water formation in the North Atlantic and Southern Ocean is widely thought to influence deglacial CO2 rise and climate change; here we suggest that deep water formation in the North Pacific may also play an important role. We present paired radiocarbon and boron isotope data from foraminifera from sediment core MD02-2489 at 3640m in the North East Pacific. These show a pronounced excursion...
متن کاملWarren revisited: Atmospheric freshwater fluxes and ‘‘Why is no deep water formed in the North Pacific’’
[1] Warren’s [1983] ‘‘Why is no deep water formed in the North Pacific’’ is revisited. His box model of the northern North Pacific is used with updated estimates of oceanic volume transports and boundary freshwater fluxes derived from the most recent data sets, using diverse methods. Estimates of the reliability of the result and its sensitivity to error in the data are given, which show that t...
