Creator:: de Szoeke, Simon P. and Xie, Shang-Ping
Abstract:: Warmer SST and more rain in the Northern Hemisphere are observed year-round in the tropical eastern Pacific with southerly wind crossing the equator toward the atmospheric heating. The southerlies are minimal during boreal spring, when two precipitation maxima straddle the equator. Fourteen atmosphere–ocean coupled GCMs from the Coupled Model Intercomparison...

Full Text:: and Mechanisms in IPCC AR4 Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere General Circulation Models* SIMON P. DE SZOEKE

Creator:: de Szoeke, Simon P., Wang, Yuqing, Xie, Shang-Ping, and Miyama, Toru
Abstract:: Shallow cumulus convection evaporates stratocumulus clouds in the atmospheric boundary layer. The effect of shallow convection on the large-scale climate of the eastern tropical Pacific is investigated with a coupled ocean-atmosphere model by disabling the shallow convection parameterization (noSC). Without shallow convection, the stratiform cloud fraction increases and surface solar...

Abstract:: The midsummer drought (MSD) is a diminution in rainfall experienced during the middle of the rainy season in southern Mexico and Central America, as well as in the adjacent Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and eastern Pacific seas. The aim of this paper is to describe the regional characteristics of the...

Full Text:: Large-Scale Forcing* RICHARD JUSTIN O. SMALL AND SIMON P. DE SZOEKE International Pacific Research

Creator:: de Szoeke, Simon P., Xie, Shang-Ping, Miyama, Toru, Richards, Kelvin J., and Small, R. Justin O.
Abstract:: A coupled ocean–atmosphere regional model suggests a mechanism for formation of a sharp sea surface temperature (SST) front north of the equator in the eastern Pacific Ocean in boreal summer and fall. Meridional convergence of Ekman transport at 5°N is forced by eastward turning of the southeasterly cross-equatorial wind, but...

Creator:: Xie, Shang-Ping, Miyama, Toru, Wang, Yuoing, Xu, Haiming, de Szoeke, Simon P., Small, R. Justin O., Richards, Kelvin J., Mochizuki, Takashi, and Awaji, Toshiyuki
Abstract:: The tropical Pacific Ocean is a climatically important region, home to El Niño and the Southern Oscillation. The simulation of its climate remains a challenge for global coupled ocean–atmosphere models, which suffer large biases especially in reproducing the observed meridional asymmetry across the equator in sea surface temperature (SST) and...
