Buoy and satellite observation of wind induced surface heat exchange in the intraseasonal oscillation over West Pacific and Indian Ocean

Araligidad, Nilesh (2007-09-20)

The importance of wind-driven latent heat fluxes for supporting tropical intraseasonal precipitation variability is analyzed. Tropical intraseasonal variability in the west pacific and Indian ocean is analyzed for north ...
The effects of rainfall on temperature and salinity in the surface layer of the equatorial Pacific

Bahr, Frederick L. (1991-07-19)

Measurements of temperature and salinity in the upper 5 m of the ocean along the equator showed cool fresh anomalies due to rain showers. The measurements were made between 140 W and 110 W during April 1987, an El Nin ...
Long-term momentum and heat balances and turbulent mixing in the upper equatorial Pacific Ocean

Luan, Shusheng (1993-06-28)
On the evolution of the western equatorial Pacific warm pool during the TOGA COARE IOP

Antonissen, Eric (1999-10-01)
Surface heat flux estimates from NCAR electra data over the pacific warm pool during TOGA COARE

Greiser, Christine M. (2002-01-25)

The warm pool region of the western tropical Pacific is of particular interest to atmospheric dynamics because it represents a significant source of energy to the atmosphere. A better understanding of heat transfer dri ...
