Subtropics-Related Interannual Sea Surface Temperature Variability in the Central Equatorial Pacific
Interannual sea surface temperature (SST) variability in the central equatorial Pacific consists of a component related to eastern Pacific SST variations (called Type-1 SST variability) and a component not related to them (called Type-2 SST variability). Lead–lagged regression and ocean surface-layer temperature balance analyses were performed to contrast their control mechanisms. Type-1 variab...
متن کاملCoupled Ocean-Cloud-Resolving Simulations of the Air–Sea Interaction over the Equatorial Western Pacific
A cloud-resolving model coupled to an ocean model with high vertical resolution is used to investigate air– sea interactions in 10-day long simulations. Modeled fields showed good agreement with two different convective regimes during the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere Research Experiment (TOGA COARE) Intensive Observing Period. The model simulates the formation of pr...
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 کاملResponse of the Equatorial Pacific Seasonal Cycle to Orbital Forcing
The response of the equatorial Pacific Ocean’s seasonal cycle to orbital forcing is explored using idealized simulations with a coupled atmosphere–ocean GCM in which eccentricity, obliquity, and the longitude of perihelion are altered while other boundary conditions are maintained at preindustrial levels. The importance of ocean dynamics in the climate response is investigated using additional ...
متن کاملRadiocarbon variability in the western equatorial Pacific inferred from a highresolution coral record from Nauru Island
We have generated a high resolution coral A14C record spanning the last 50 years to document the seasonal and interannual redistribution of surface waters in the western tropical Pacific. Prebomb (1947-1956) A14C values average -63%0 and have a total range of 30%0. Values begin to increase in 1957, reaching a maximum of 137%o in mid-1983. Large interannual variability of up to 80%0 closely foll...
