Forecasting Ocean Chlorophyll in the Equatorial Pacific
Using a global ocean biogeochemical model combined with a forecast of physical oceanic and atmospheric variables from the NASA Global Modeling and Assimilation Office, we assess the skill of a chlorophyll concentrations forecast in the Equatorial Pacific for the period 2012-2015 with a focus on the forecast of the onset of the 2015 El Niño event. Using a series of retrospective 9-month hindcast...
متن کاملOn the Annual Cycle of Upper-Ocean Circulation in the Eastern Equatorial Pacific
An oceanic general circulation model is used to investigate the annual cycle of the near-surface currents in the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean; in particular, the causes of the springtime increase of eastward momentum that reverses the westward surface flow and intensifies the Equatorial Undercurrent are examined. A set of process experiments are carried out that isolates effects due to thre...
متن کاملPhotographs of Invertebrate Megafauna from Abyssal Depths of the North-Eastern Equatorial Pacific Ocean
A series of RV PROSPECTOR cruises to survey ferromanganese nodule deposits at depths of 4000-5200 meters in the Clarion-Clipperton Fracture Zone of the north-eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean resulted in the acquisition of over 70,000 seafloor images. Real-time television, coupled with 35-mm remotecontrolled still photography, revealed a conspicuous epibenthic invertebrate megafauna of more than...
متن کاملDeglacial changes in dust flux in the eastern equatorial Pacific
Atmospheric dust levels may play important roles in feedbacks linking continental source areas, tropical convection, marine productivity, and global climate. These feedbacks appear to be particularly significant in the tropical Pacific, where variations in local convection and productivity have been demonstrated to have impacts on climate at higher latitudes. Modeling of past dust levels and re...
متن کاملRunning hot and cold in the eastern equatorial Pacific
Understanding paleoceanography of the eastern equatorial Pacific is of particular importance, given its propensity for high variability on all timescales including the seasonal cycle, the interannual El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO), and longer-term changes, each with possible global consequences (Cane and Clement, 1999). For example, tropical Pacific warming imposed in atmospheric climate m...
