Seasonal variability of the South Equatorial Countercurrent
[1] Using the 1.5-layer long Rossby wave model forced by the seasonal European Remote Sensing (ERS) satellite scatterometer wind, we demonstrate that the seasonal variability of the South Equatorial Countercurrent (SECC) is due to the interplay of two types of forced Rossby waves: the resonantly forced Rossby waves north of 10 S and the locally forced Rossby waves south of 10 S. The resonantly ...
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 کاملPhysical control on the seasonal cycle of surface pCO2 in the equatorial Pacific
[1] The controlling mechanism of the seasonal cycle of surface partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) in the central/eastern equatorial Pacific is studied using a coupled physicalbiogeochemical model. The model results indicate that the individual components of physical transport of total CO2 (TCO2) in the Niño3 area are out of phase with each other such that the net TCO2 transport is an order smaller....
متن کاملForecasting 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 کاملEffects of surface forcing on the seasonal cycle of the eastern equatorial Pacific
The roles of zonal and meridional wind stress and of surface heat flux in the seasonal cycle of sea surface temperature (SST) are examined with a primitive equation (PE) model of the tropical Pacific Ocean. While a variety of previous numerical and observational studies have examined the seasonal cycle of SST in the eastern tropical Pacific, it is noteworthy that different mechanisms have been ...
