(161.76 million square km). It has double the area and more than double the water volume of theAtlantic Ocean—the next largest division of the hydrosphere—and its area more than exceeds that of the whole land surface of the globe. The Pacific Ocean stretches from theBering Straitto 60°...
Sea Surface TemperatureNorth Pacific OceanMean seasonal surface temperatures of the North Pacific are illustrated in three maps. Twenty nine years of ship-injection temperatures are used for the whole North Pacific (north of 20掳N). Map number two shows geographical regions of the month of highest...
Pacific Ocean - Temperature, Salinity, Depth: The oceans tend to be stratified, the principal factor being temperature; the bottom waters of the deep parts are intensely cold, with temperatures only slightly above freezing. The surface zone, where tempe
Nonseasonal variability of sea level pressure (SLP) and sea surface temperature (SST) in the mid-latitude North Pacific Ocean is examined. The objective is examination of the basic scales of the variability and determination of possible causal connections which might allow prediction of short-term ...

Fig. 4: Mechanically decoupled ensemble mean (MD) sea surface temperature (SST) trend decomposition based on the ocean mixed layer heat budget analysis. aSame bar chart as Fig.2a, but for MD.bPanel showing the SST spatial pattern of the sum of all components (\({T}_{s}^{t}\)) and...
Sharp and rapid changes in the sea surface temperature (SST) associated with fronts and the diurnal cycle can drive changes in the atmospheric boundary-layer stability and circulation. Here we show how a one-dimensional surface ocean model forced with either high-resolution or daily averaged surface...
In the North Pacific, the wintertime sea surface temperature anomaly (SSTA), which is represented by March (SSTA), when the upper-ocean mixed layer depth (h) reaches its maximum, is formed by the anomalous surface forcing from fall to winter (S). As a parameter of volume, hhas a potent...
Because our diatom-based sea surface temperature index resembles Northern Hemisphere temperature reconstructions, we suggest that with continued anthropogenic warming, the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean may continue to warm. 展开 关键词: climate seasonal variation temperature ...
