The South Atlantic and the Climate
نویسندگان
چکیده
As a contribution to the OCEANOBS99 objectives, we give a brief description of the present knowledge of the South Atlantic and identify some key processes and areas which need to be monitored in order to understand the role of that part of the ocean in the global climate. Included are suggestions of strategies for a first approximation towards an ocean climate monitoring system in the South Atlantic.

The main objective of this study was to reveal the impact of nine climate indices on temperature changes and climate oscillations in Golestan Province along the southern coast of the Caspian Sea. Climate indices data from across the Atlantic-Eurasian sector were collected from the NCEP/NCAR, the Climate Prediction Centre (CPC) and the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) over a period of 40 years (1971...

متن کاملReconstruction of the South Atlantic Subtropical Dipole index for the past 12,000 years from surface temperature proxy
Climate indices based on sea surface temperature (SST) can synthesize information related to physical processes that describe change and variability in continental precipitation from floods to droughts. The South Atlantic Subtropical Dipole index (SASD) is based on the distribution of SST in the South Atlantic and fits these criteria. It represents the dominant mode of variability of SST in the...
متن کاملThe impact of the subtropical South Atlantic SST on South American precipitation
Abstract. The Community Climate Model (CCM3) from the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) is used to investigate the effect of the South Atlantic sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies on interannual to decadal variability of South American precipitation. Two ensembles composed of multidecadal simulations forced with monthly SST data from the Hadley Centre for the period 1949 to 20...
