To analyse and predict the state of the ocean the UK Met Office has developed the Forecast Ocean Atmosphere Model (FOAM). At the heart of FOAM is an ocean circulation model, of the same basic formulation as that used by the Hadley Centre at the UK Met Office to predict climate change. ...
This page focuses mostly on ocean conditions, such as marine weather, SSTs, tidal data, buoy data, ship reports and waves. Additional satellite-derived data is available on our Wind Data page (upper level and surface winds) and our Satellite Data page (visible and infrared satellite imagery)....
While there are no coastal watches or warnings in effect for either storm, the waves from Issac could cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions in the Azores, the Miami-based U.S. National Hurricane Center said Friday. The storms are churning in the open ocean afterHurricane Helen...
Forecasters are continuing to monitor a tropical disturbance in the Atlantic Ocean that has a high chance of developing into our next named storm in the coming days – Ernesto.
We conducted idealized simulations using pre-industrial forcings. Only the ocean model of NESM3.0 was integrated for 4000 years with atmospheric forcings to elucidate the stable upper- and deep-ocean initial conditions. Second, NESM3.0 was integrated for 500 years, with an initial condition that...
Murakami's team found that a combination of natural conditions and man-made climate change is making the Atlantic Ocean waters warmer. Man-made causes included the burning of coal, oil and gas.Warm water is important because it acts as a fuel for hurricanes. Water has to be at least 26 ...
The meaning of NORTH ATLANTIC OSCILLATION is a periodic seesaw fluctuation in sea-level atmospheric pressures over the northern Atlantic Ocean that is believed to contribute to the Arctic Oscillation.
The agency outlined its updated prediction ina press releaseissued Wednesday, Aug. 10, stating that "[f]orecasters believe that current ocean and atmospheric conditions, such as record-warm Atlantic sea surface temperatures, are likely to counterbalance the usually limiting atmospheric conditions associat...
