Intra-seasonal Oscillations (ISO) of zonal-mean meridional winds and temperatures as measured by UARS
Based on an empirical analysis of measurements with the High Resolution Doppler Imager (HRDI) on the UARS spacecraft in the upper mesosphere (95 km), persistent and regular intra-seasonal oscillations (ISO) with periods of about 2 to 4 months have recently been reported in the zonal-mean meridional winds. Similar oscillations have also been discussed independently in a modeling study, and they ...
متن کاملMeridional Energy Transport: Uncertainty in Zonal Means
The meridional energy transport in the atmosphere and ocean is computed using atmospheric analyses from ECMWF and NMC, and net radiative ux from ERBE. An error analysis of the zonally-averaged total transport shows that errors of 7 Wm 2 in net ux produce transport errors of 0:5PW at the equator, an error of 9% in midlatitudes. Methods for correcting the mass non-conservation in transports deriv...
متن کاملStatistical Characterization of Zonal and Meridional Ocean Wind Stress
Four years of ocean vector wind data are used to evaluate statistics of wind stress over the ocean. Raw swath wind stresses derived from the Quick Scatterometer (QuikSCAT) are compared with five different global gridded wind products, including products based on scatterometer observations, meteorological analysis winds from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, and reanalysis ...
متن کاملThe Zonal Dimension of the Indian Ocean Meridional Overturning Circulation
The three-dimensional structure of the meridional overturning circulation (MOC) in the deep Indian Ocean is investigated with an eddy-permitting ocean model. The amplitude of the modeled deep Indian Ocean MOC is 5.6 Sv (1 Sv 10 m s ), a broadly realistic but somewhat weak overturning. Although the model parameterization of diapycnal mixing is inaccurate, the model’s short spinup allows the effe...
متن کاملEquatorial Superrotation and the Factors Controlling the Zonal-Mean Zonal Winds in the Tropical Upper Troposphere
The response of the zonal-mean zonal winds in the tropical upper troposphere to thermal forcing in the Tropics is studied using an idealized general circulation model with 18 vertical levels and simplified atmospheric physics. The model produces a conventional general circulation, with deep easterly flow over the equator, when integrated using zonally invariant and hemispherically symmetric bou...
