Summertime Influence of SST on Surface Wind Stress off the U.S. West Coast from the U.S. Navy COAMPS Model

Creator:

Haack, Tracy, Chelton, Dudley, Pullen, Julie, Doyle, James D., and Schlax, Michael

Abstract:

High-resolution mesoscale model sea surface temperature (SST) analyses and surface wind stress forecasts off the U.S. West Coast are analyzed on monthly time scales for robust signatures of air–sea interaction as the surface winds encounter ocean surface features such as SST fronts, filaments, and eddies. This interaction is manifest by...

Summertime Coupling between Sea Surface Temperature and Wind Stress in the California Current System

Creator:

Chelton, Dudley B., Schlax, Michael G., and Samelson, Roger M.

Abstract:

Satellite observations of wind stress and sea surface temperature (SST) are analyzed to investigate ocean–atmosphere interaction in the California Current System (CCS). As in regions of strong SST fronts elsewhere in the World Ocean, SST in the CCS region is positively correlated with surface wind stress when SST fronts are...
