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 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 کاملCopepod grazing in the equatorial Pacific
The vertical distribution of copepod (>64 pm) grazing was mcasurcd on the equator at 14O”W during March/ April (19 d) and October 1992 (21 d). El NiAo conditions prevailed during the March/April time series. Hydrographic variables were similar to the climatological mean during the October time series.,We found higher weight-specific copepod filtration rates in October when mixed-layer temperatu...
متن کاملPhytoplankton abundances and community structure in the equatorial Pacific
In both the warm pool region and the high-nutrient low-chlorophyll (HNLC) region of the equatorial Pacific, the phytoplankton community is dominated by high concentrations of picophytoplankton regardless of whether El Ni * no, La Ni * na or normal conditions prevail. Flow cytometry measurements indicate that the picoplankton community consists of two species of prokaryotes, Prochlorococcus and ...
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...
