Pacific sea surface temperature and the winter of 2014
It is shown from historical data and from modeling experiments that a proximate cause of the cold winter in North America in 2013–2014 was the pattern of sea surface temperature (SST) in the Pacific Ocean. Each of the three dominant modes of SST variability in the Pacific is connected to the tropics and has a strong expression in extratropical SST and weather patterns. Beginning in the middle o...
متن کاملTropical–Extratropical Teleconnections in Boreal Summer: Observed Interannual Variability*
Maximum covariance analysis is performed on the fields of boreal summer, tropical rainfall, and Northern Hemisphere (NH) 200-hPa height for the 62-yr period of record of 1948–2009. The leading mode, which appears preferentially in summers preceding the peak phases of the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) cycle, involves a circumglobal teleconnection (CGT) pattern in the NH extratropical 200-h...
متن کاملSea surface temperature variability: patterns and mechanisms.
Patterns of sea surface temperature (SST) variability on interannual and longer timescales result from a combination of atmospheric and oceanic processes. These SST anomaly patterns may be due to intrinsic modes of atmospheric circulation variability that imprint themselves upon the SST field mainly via surface energy fluxes. Examples include SST fluctuations in the Southern Ocean associated wi...
متن کاملLow-frequency Atlantic sea level variability
The control run of the Hadley Centre-coupled climate model (HadCM3) is used to establish the sources of multidecadal/ centennial sea level (SL) variations in the northwest Atlantic. It is shown that variations in the sea level for the largest part of this area are related to variations in the thermohaline structure of the upper (c 500 m) part of the ocean. Temperature variations dominate steric...
متن کاملWinter Atmospheric Forcing of the Ross Sea Polynya
Polynyas, or areas of combined open water and thin ice surrounded by sea and/or land ice, are thought to play important roles in heat transfer from ocean to atmosphere, ice production, the formation of dense shelf water, spring disinte gration of sea ice, and the sustenance of primary and secondary productivity in polar regions. This study examines the interannual variation of the Ross Sea Pol...
