Creator:: O'Neill, Larry W., Chelton, Dudley B., and Esbensen, Steven K.
Abstract:: The responses of surface wind and wind stress to spatial variations of sea surface temperature (SST) are investigated using satellite observations of the surface wind from the Quick Scatterometer (QuikSCAT) and SST from the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer on the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for Earth Observing System (EOS) (AMSR-E)...

Creator:: Song, Qingtao, Chelton, Dudley B., Esbensen, Steven K., Thum, Nicolai, and O'Neill, Larry W.
Abstract:: This study evaluates the impacts of sea surface temperature (SST) specification and grid resolution on numerical simulations of air–sea coupling near oceanic fronts through analyses of surface winds from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) model. The 9 May 2001 change of the boundary condition from the Reynolds...

Creator:: O'Neill, Larry W., Chelton, Dudley B., and Esbensen, Steven K.
Abstract:: The surface wind stress response to sea surface temperature (SST) over the latitude range 30°–60°S in the Southern Ocean is described from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's QuikSCAT scatterometer observations of wind stress and Reynolds analyses of SST during the 2-yr period August 1999 to July 2001. While ocean–atmosphere...

Creator:: O'Neill, Larry W., Chelton, Dudley B., Esbensen, Steven K., and Wentz, Frank J.
Abstract:: The marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL) response to sea surface temperature (SST) perturbations with wavelengths shorter than 30° longitude by 10° latitude along the Agulhas Return Current (ARC) is described from the first year of SST and cloud liquid water (CLW) measurements from the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR) on...

Creator:: O'Neill, Larry W., Esbensen, Steven K., Thum, Nicolai, Samelson, Roger M., and Chelton, Dudley B.
Abstract:: The dynamical response of the marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL) to mesoscale sea surface temperature (SST) perturbations is investigated over the Agulhas Return Current during winter from a 1-month, high-resolution, three-dimensional simulation using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) mesoscale model. A steady lower boundary condition for July 2002 is...

Creator:: O'Neill, Larry W., Chelton, Dudley B., and Esbensen, Steven K.
Abstract:: The effects of surface wind speed and direction gradients on midlatitude surface vorticity and divergence fields associated with mesoscale sea surface temperature (SST) variability having spatial scales of 100–1000 km are investigated using vector wind observations from the SeaWinds scatterometer on the Quick Scatterometer (QuikSCAT) satellite and SST from the...
