Inter-El Niño variability and its impact on the South American low-level jet east of the Andes during austral summer – two case studies
The impact of the maximum convection location over eastern and central Equatorial Pacific over the intensity and positioning of the South American Low-Level Jet east of the Andes (SALLJ) during the austral summer was investigated. The Bonner criteria 1 was applied to the NCEPNCAR circulation fields during the El Niño of 1997/1998 and 2002/2003 to identify the SALLJ episodes. The composites of t...
متن کاملEvolution of 1996–1999 La Niña and El Niño conditions off the western coast of South America: A remote sensing perspective
[1] We present the evolution of oceanographic conditions off the western coast of South America between 1996 and 1999, including the cold periods of 1996 and 1998–1999 and the 1997–1998 El Niño, using satellite observations of sea level, winds, sea surface temperature (SST), and chlorophyll concentration. Following a period of cold SST and low sea levels in 1996, both were anomalously high betw...
متن کاملHydrographic conditions off northern Chile during the 1996– 1998 La Niña and El Niño events
[1] The evolution of oceanographic conditions in the upwelling region off northern Chile (18 –24 S) between 1996 and 1998 (including the 1997–1998 El Niño) is presented using hydrographic measurements acquired on quarterly cruises of the Chilean Fisheries Institute, with sea surface temperature (SST), sea level, and wind speeds from Arica (18.5 S), Iquique (20.5 S), and Antofagasta (23.5 S) and...
متن کاملLong wave dynamics of the interannual variability in a numerical hindcast of the equatorial Pacific Ocean circulation during the 1990s
[1] A numerical hindcast of the Pacific Ocean circulation for the period of 1988–1998 is conducted to study the dynamics of interannual variations in the 1990s. The Poseidon quasi-isopycnal ocean model is forced with an SSMI-derived wind stress product and sea surface heat flux from an atmospheric mixed layer model. On the basis of a good comparison of the hindcast results with TAO mooring obse...
متن کاملSeasonal and Interannual Variations of Oceanic Conditions in the Angola Dome
Using outputs from a high-resolution OGCM, seasonal and interannual variations of the Angola Dome (AD) are revisited. Although the AD was previously considered to be one large cold tongue extending from the West African coast, it is shown that two cold domes exist. These two domes have remarkably different mechanisms for their seasonal variation. The weak dome, whose center is located at 6°S, 1...
