Tropical Pacific Sea-Surface Temperatures and Preceding Sea Level Pressure Anomalies in the Subtropical North Pacific

Interaction of Clouds, Radiation, and the Tropical Warm Pool Sea Surface Temperatures

Planktonic foraminiferal oxygen isotope analysis by ion microprobe technique suggests warm tropical sea surface temperatures during the Early Paleogene

[1] Cool tropical sea surface temperatures (SSTs) are reported for warm Paleogene greenhouse climates based on the dO of planktonic foraminiferal tests. These results are difficult to reconcile with models of greenhouse gas–forced climate. It has been suggested that this “cool tropics paradox” arises from postdepositional alteration of foraminiferal calcite, yielding erroneously high dO values....

North Pacific and North Atlantic sea-surface temperature variability during the Holocene

Holocene climate variability is investigated in the North Pacific and North Atlantic realms, using alkenone-derived sea-surface temperature (SST) records as well as a millennial scale simulation with a coupled atmosphere-ocean general circulation model (AOGCM). The alkenone SST data indicate a temperature increase over almost the entire North Pacific from 7 cal kyr BP to the present. A dipole p...

Neural network forecasts of the tropical Pacific sea surface temperatures

A nonlinear forecast system for the sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies over the whole tropical Pacific has been developed using a multi-layer perceptron neural network approach, where sea level pressure and SST anomalies were used as predictors to predict the five leading SST principal components at lead times from 3 to 15 months. Relative to the linear regression (LR) models, the nonlinea...
