متن کاملWally Was Right: Predictive Ability of the North Atlantic Conveyor Belt Hypothesis for Abrupt Climate Change
Linked, abrupt changes of North Atlantic deep water formation, North Atlantic sea ice extent, and widespread climate occurred repeatedly during the last ice age cycle and beyond in response to changing freshwater fluxes and perhaps other causes. This paradigm, developed and championed especially by W.S. Broecker, has repeatedly proven to be successfully predictive as well as explanatory with hi...
متن کاملMass , Heat and Nutrient Fluxes in the Atlantic Ocean Determined
Inverse methods are applied to historical hydrographic data to address two aspects of the general circulation of the Atlantic Ocean. The method allows conservation statements for mass and other properties, along with a variety of other constraints, to be combined in a dynamically consistent way to estimate the absolute velocity field and associated property transports. The method is first used ...
متن کاملEquatorial Atlantic interannual variability: the role of heat content
The dynamics of the Equatorial Atlantic zonal mode are studied using observed sea surface height (SSH), sea surface temperature (SST), and heat flux and reanalysis wind stress and upper ocean temperature. Principal oscillation pattern (POP) analysis shows that the zonal mode is an oscillatory normal-mode of the observed coupled system, obeying the delayed-action/recharge oscillator paradigm for...
متن کاملSeasonal mixed layer heat budget of the tropical Atlantic Ocean
[1] This paper addresses the atmospheric and oceanic causes of the seasonal cycle of sea surface temperature (SST) in the tropical Atlantic on the basis of direct observations. Data sets include up to 4 years (September 1997 to February 2002) of measurements from moored buoys of the Pilot Research Array in the Tropical Atlantic (PIRATA), near-surface drifting buoys, and a blended satellite in s...
