The cross-equatorial structure of tropical instability waves in sea surface height

Creator:

Lyman, John M.

Abstract:

A linearized model with two vertical modes has been developed to understand observed characteristics of monthly variability in the Equatorial Pacific from TOPEX/POSEIDON measurements of Sea Surface Height (SSH). The 2-mode model is obtained from an equatorial beta plane model that has been linearized about a geostrophically balanced mean flow...

Subseasonal SST Variability in the Tropical Eastern North Pacific during Boreal Summer

Creator:

Maloney, Eric D., Chelton, Dudley B., and Esbensen, Steven K.

Abstract:

Boreal summer intraseasonal (30–90-day time scale) sea surface temperature (SST) variability in the east Pacific warm pool is examined using Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Microwave Imager (TMI) sea surface temperatures during 1998–2005. Intraseasonal SST variance maximizes at two locations in the warm pool: in the vicinity of 9°N, 92°W...

A regional real-time forecast of marine boundary layers during VOCALS-REx

Creator:

Wang, S., O'Neill, L. W., Jiang, Q., de Szoeke, Simon P., Hong, X., Jin, H., Thompson, W. T., and Zheng, X.

Abstract:

This paper presents an evaluation and validation of the Naval Research Laboratory's COAMPS® real-time forecasts during the VOCALS-REx over the area off the west coast of Chile/Peru in the Southeast Pacific during October and November 2008. The analyses focus on the marine boundary layer (MBL) structure. These forecasts are compared...
