Air-sea heat exchange along the northern sea surface temperature front in the eastern tropical Pacific

Creator:

Thum, Nicolai

Abstract:

The atmospheric response to the oceanic forcing in the eastern Pacific along the northern equatorial sea surface temperature (SST) front is investigated in terms of sensible and latent heat flux during the 6-month period 28 July 1999 through 27 January 2000. Of particular interest is the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL)...

Surface heat flux estimates from NCAR electra data over the pacific warm pool during TOGA COARE

Creator:

Greiser, Christine M.

Abstract:

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 driven by mesoscale and turbulent circulations within this region could lead to improved global circulation models, and...
