Satellite Microwave SST Observations of Transequatorial Tropical Instability Waves

Creator:

Chelton, Dudley B., Wentz, Frank J., Genremann, Chelle L., de Szoeke, Roland A., and Schlax, Michael G.

Abstract:

Satellite measurements of sea-surface temperature (SST) by the TRMM Microwave Imager reveal previously unreported features of tropical instability waves (TIWs). In the Pacific, TIW-related variability is observed from the eastern boundary to at least 160°E. Cusp-shaped distortions of SST fronts and associated trains of anticyclonic vortices both north and south...

Global observations of large oceanic eddies

Creator:

Chelton, Dudley B., Schlax, Michael C., Samelson, Roger M., and de Szoeke, Roland A.

Abstract:

Ten years of sea-surface height (SSH) fields constructed from the merged TOPEX/Poseidon (T/P) and ERS-1/2 altimeter datasets are analyzed to investigate mesoscale variability in the global ocean. The higher resolution of the merged dataset reveals that more than 50% of the variability over much of the World Ocean is accounted...
