An empirical stochastic model of sea-surface temperatures and surface winds over the Southern Ocean
This study employs NASA’s recent satellite measurements of sea-surface temperatures (SSTs) and sea-level winds (SLWs) with missing data filled-in by Singular Spectrum Analysis (SSA), to construct empirical models that capture both intrinsic and SST-dependent aspects of SLW variability. The model construction methodology uses a number of algorithmic innovations that are essential in providing st...
متن کاملInhibited upper ocean restratification in nonequilibrium swell conditions
[1] Diurnal restratification of the ocean surface boundary layer (OSBL) represents a competition between mixing of the OSBL and solar heating. Langmuir turbulence (LT) is a mixing process in the OSBL, driven by wind and surface waves, that transfers momentum, heat, and mass. Observations in nonequilibrium swell conditions reveal that the OSBL does not restratify despite low winds and strong sol...
متن کاملLong-term Variability of Ocean Surface Winds
Just a few decades ago, almost all ocean wind measurements came from merchant ships. However, the quality and geographical distribution of these wind reports were uneven. The quality of historical wind-stress have been well investigated [e.g., Cardone et al., 1990; Trenberth, et al, 1990; Kent et al., 1999]. Today, operational numerical weather prediction (NWP) also gives us wind information, b...
متن کاملNortherly surface winds over the eastern North Pacific Ocean in spring and summer
[1] Persistent spring and summer northerly surface winds are the defining climatological feature of the western coast of North America, especially south of the Oregon coast. Northerly surface winds are important for upwelling and a vast array of other biological, oceanic, and atmospheric processes. Intermittence in northerly coastal surface wind is characterized and wind events are quantitative...
متن کاملA note on the deficiency of NCEP/NCAR reanalysis surface winds over the equatorial Indian Ocean
[1] The seasonal cycle and intraseasonal variability of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction/National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCEP) reanalysis surface winds over the Indian Ocean (IO) are assessed by comparing them with in situ surface observations from two moored buoys and winds from the SeaWinds scatterometer on the QuikSCAT satellite. The buoys are located in the centra...
