Statistical Characterization of Zonal and Meridional Ocean Wind Stress
Four years of ocean vector wind data are used to evaluate statistics of wind stress over the ocean. Raw swath wind stresses derived from the Quick Scatterometer (QuikSCAT) are compared with five different global gridded wind products, including products based on scatterometer observations, meteorological analysis winds from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, and reanalysis ...
متن کاملSemiannual Cycle in Zonal Wind over the Equatorial Indian Ocean
The semiannual cycle in zonal wind over the equatorial Indian Ocean is investigated by use of ocean– atmospheric reanalyses, and linear ocean–atmospheric models. In observations, the semiannual cycle in zonal wind is dominant on the equator and confined in the planetary boundary layer (PBL). Results from a momentum budget analysis show that momentum advection generated by the cross-equatorial m...
متن کاملDiurnal and Semidiurnal Variations of the Surface Wind Field over the Tropical Pacific Ocean
The climatological large-scale patterns of diurnal and semidiurnal near-surface wind variations over the tropical Pacific Ocean are documented using 3 yr of hourly measurements from the Tropical Atmosphere–Ocean moored buoy array. Semidiurnal variations account for 68% of the mean daily variance of the zonal wind component, while diurnal variations account for 82% of the mean daily variance of ...
متن کاملDecoupled Response of Ocean Acidification to Variations in Climate Sensitivity
It is now well understood that the global surface ocean, whose pH has been reduced by;0.1 in response to rising atmospheric CO2 since industrialization, will continue to become more acidic as fossil fuel CO2 emissions escalate. However, it is unclear how uncertainties in climate sensitivity to future CO2 emissions will alter the manifestation of ocean acidification. Using an earth system model ...
متن کاملUpper Ocean Response to Tropical Cyclone Wind Asymmetries
The most apparent effect of a tropical cyclone on the upper ocean is the marked cooling of sea surface temperature (SST) that is clearly seen in Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) images of SST. As a storm intensifies, the increasing wind speed may increase evaporation and supply the storm with the necessary source of heat for further intensification. However, the significant SST ...
