Wind-Driven Variability of the Subtropical North Pacific Ocean
The Argo array provides a unique dataset to explore variability of the subsurface ocean interior. This study considers the subtropical North Pacific Ocean during the period from 2004 to 2011, when Argo coverage has been relatively complete in time and space. Two distinct patterns of Argo dynamic height transport function (d DH) are observed: in 2004/05, the gyre is stronger, and in 2008/09 it i...
متن کاملContributions of denitrification and mixing on the distribution of nitrous oxide in the North Pacific
[1] We analyzed N2O isotopomer ratios (distribution of isotopes within N2O molecules) in the eastern tropical North Pacific. The N2O isotopomer ratios indicate the contribution of denitrification in the oxygen minimum zone (OMZ, 600 m in depth) in the western North Pacific, which is not consistent with the widely accepted nitrification hypothesis. Our models indicate that the N2O yield per mole...
متن کاملImpact of diapycnal mixing on the saturation state of argon in the subtropical North Pacific
[1] Diapycnal mixing plays an important role in both physical and biogeochemical processes in the oceans, yet the rate of tracer mixing has not been adequately quantified. A theoretical analysis predicts that diapycnal mixing should raise the saturation state of noble gases in the thermocline, at a rate proportional to diapycnal diffusivity. We apply this theory to existing measurements of argo...
متن کاملGlobal Warming–Induced Changes in El Niño Teleconnections over the North Pacific and North America
El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) induces climate anomalies around the globe. Atmospheric general circulation model simulations are used to investigate how ENSO-induced teleconnection patterns during boreal winter might change in response to global warming in the Pacific–North American sector. As models disagree on changes in the amplitude and spatial pattern of ENSO in response to global war...
متن کاملIsopycnal mixing and the distribution of particles across the North Pacific Subtropical Front
-Vertical profiles of salinity S and beam attenuation coefficient c were obtained from the research platform R.P. Flip as it drifted across the North Pacific Subtropical Front (NPSF) during the Optical Dynamics Experiment (ODEX) in the autumn of 1982. Near-surface waters north of the NPSF have lower S and generally higher values of c compared with waters to the south. An anomaly in c is used to...
