Reflection of Heat Radiation by Sea Surface

Reflection of THz Radiation by a Superlattice

The dynamics of a charged particle in a superlattice under the action of an external electric field has been the subject of intense research [1–6]. Under different conditions, an electron is predicted to reveal a variety of time-dependent phenomena such as Bloch oscillations [1], Zener tunneling [2], self-induced transparency [3], miniband collapse [4], negative differential conductivity, and a...

The Influence of the Madden–Julian Oscillation on Ocean Surface Heat Fluxes and Sea Surface Temperature

The Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO) involves pronounced variations in convection and large-scale circulation throughout the tropical troposphere. In addition, the MJO is also related to dynamic and thermodynamic variability near the surface and the upper ocean. This study uses observational data to characterize the changes in surface heat fluxes and sea surface temperature (SST) during the life...

Daily to Decadal Sea Surface Temperature Variability Driven by State-Dependent Stochastic Heat Fluxes

The classic Frankignoul–Hasselmann hypothesis for sea surface temperature (SST) variability of an oceanic mixed layer assumes that the surface heat flux can be simply parameterized as noise induced by atmospheric variability plus a linear temperature relaxation rate. It is suggested here, however, that rapid fluctuations in this rate, as might be expected, for example, from gustiness of the sea...

Effects of surface heat flux-induced sea surface temperature changes on tropical cyclone intensity

[1] It is known that in deep and open oceans, the effect of sea surface sensible and evaporative heat fluxes on the tropical cyclone-induced sea surface cooling is small compared to that caused by turbulent mixing and cold water entrainment into the upper ocean mixed-layer. This study shows that tropical cyclone-induced surface heat fluxes dominate the surface cooling in near-coastal shallow oc...
