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:: 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...
