Air–Sea Heat Exchange along the Northern Sea Surface Temperature Front in the Eastern Tropical Pacific

Creator:

Thum, Nicolai, Esbensen, Steven K., Chelton, Dudley B., and McPhaden, Michael J.

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 from 28 July 1999 to 27 January 2000 and the 7-month period from 28 June 2000...

Chelton, Dudley B., Esbensen, Steven K., Schlax, Michael G., Thum, Nicolai, Freilich, Michael H., Wentz, Frank J., Gentemann, Chelle L., McPhaden, Michael J., and Schopf, Paul S.

Abstract:

Satellite measurements of surface wind stress from the QuikSCAT scatterometer and sea surface temperature (SST) from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission Microwave Imager are analyzed for the three-month period 21 July–20 October 1999 to investigate ocean–atmosphere coupling in the eastern tropical Pacific. Oceanic tropical instability waves (TIWs) with periods of...
