Western Pacific Tropical Cyclogenesis Precursors
The basic ingredients for tropical cyclogenesis have been well established: a sufficiently deep warm ocean layer, low-level cyclonic vorticity, weak vertical wind shear, and deep moist convection (e. et al. 2008) have attributed cyclogenesis to a variety of low-level precursor systems that enhance one or more of these ingredients. These studies have traditionally focused on features such as the...
متن کاملResponse of the Equatorial Pacific Seasonal Cycle to Orbital Forcing
The response of the equatorial Pacific Ocean’s seasonal cycle to orbital forcing is explored using idealized simulations with a coupled atmosphere–ocean GCM in which eccentricity, obliquity, and the longitude of perihelion are altered while other boundary conditions are maintained at preindustrial levels. The importance of ocean dynamics in the climate response is investigated using additional ...
متن کاملGlobal temperature change.
Global surface temperature has increased approximately 0.2 degrees C per decade in the past 30 years, similar to the warming rate predicted in the 1980s in initial global climate model simulations with transient greenhouse gas changes. Warming is larger in the Western Equatorial Pacific than in the Eastern Equatorial Pacific over the past century, and we suggest that the increased West-East tem...
متن کاملJimar – Pfrp Annual Report for Fy 2007
1. Purpose of the project: Previous modeling suggests that tuna productivity in the western and central Pacific Ocean is tied to upwelling along the equator in the central and eastern Pacific. This project proposes to test this hypothesis by combining diet analysis, stable isotopic analyses, and food-web modeling to study trophic-level variation and tuna movements in the equatorial Pacific. Our...
متن کاملEl nino-southern oscillation displacements of the Western equatorial pacific warm pool.
The western equatorial Pacific warm pool (sea-surface temperatures >29 degrees C) was observed to migrate eastward across the date line during the 1986-1987 El Niño-Southern Oscillation event. Direct velocity measurements made in the upper ocean from 1986 to 1988 indicate that this migration was associated with a prolonged reversal in the South Equatorial Current forced by a large-scale relaxat...
