Probability Distribution Function of the Upper Equatorial Pacific Current Speeds
[1] The probability distribution function (PDF) of the upper (0–50 m) tropical Pacific current speeds (w), constructed from hourly ADCP data (1990–2007) at six stations for the Tropical Atmosphere Ocean project, satisfies the twoparameter Weibull distribution reasonably well with different characteristics between El Nino and La Nina events: In the western Pacific, the PDF of w has a larger peak...
متن کاملDistribution of Virus-Infected Bacteria in the Western Equatorial Pacific
Viruses are generally considered an important agent of bacterial loss in diverse marine environments. However, the impact of viruses on bacteria is unknown in the western equatorial Pacific, where surface waters are warm and phytoplankton biomass is low (i.e., oligotrophic). Further, little is known about their importance in the mesopelagial, where bacteria and heterotrophic nanoflagellates are...
متن کاملThe Probability Distribution of Land Surface Wind Speeds
The probability density function (pdf) of land surface wind speeds is characterized using a global network of observations. Daytime surface wind speeds are shown to be broadly consistent with the Weibull distribution, while nighttime surface wind speeds are generally more positively skewed than the corresponding Weibull distribution (particularly in summer). In the midlatitudes, these strongly ...
متن کاملDetermine the probability distribution function of frosts in Iran during the period (1981-2010)
Agricultural sector is most dependent on climate, and climate is the main determinant of time, location, production resources, and productivity of agricultural activities. The first event of zero-degree temperature in fall and its last event in spring is important for agriculture. This information is used to determine the species suitable for planting in each area. The present study seeks to id...
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...
