The temperature response to northward atmospheric heat and moisture advection from a stronger Aleutian Low is mainly detected around the Pacific side of the Arctic. The impact of the Atlantic on Arctic surface temperatures and sea ice cover, has been mainly linked to the Atlantic side of the ...
Fig. 1 Satellite Equator-crossing times for platforms carrying contributing sensors. Solid lines indicate southward crossings; lines with triangles indicate northward crossings; thin grey lines indicate periods when the satellite is operational, but the sensor data are not used in this work. “N” ...

The CB represents an almost unique area of long-term sea surface cooling centered on approximately 53°N, 36°W that has been associated with weakening of the AMOC and consequent reduced transport of heat northward by ocean currents (Caesar et al., 2018; Drijfhout et al., 2012; Rahmstorf ...
Because the surface layer is where the wind stress, main forcing of the model is applied, major effort will have to be devoted to parameterizing the near-surface downward mixing of momentum, heat and fresh water.doi:10.1016/j.ejor.2003.10.015Gilles Reverdin...
5.1.1. Decreased wind-driven upwelling Perhaps the best-known hypothesis is that a northward shift and/or weakening of the Southern hemisphere westerly winds during ice ages reduced Ekman upwelling in the AZ and that this in turn led to decreased ventilation of the deep Southern Ocean (Toggweil...
Together, the merged East Greenland-Irminger Current travels along the southeast coast, wraps around the southern end of Greenland at Cape Farewell, and continues northward as the West Greenland Current towards Baffin Bay. Transported via this system of currents, AW is an important source of ...
prominent adiabatic warming anomaly appears over areas covered by the anomalous anticyclone, this is because anticyclone is commonly accompanied with downward motion of air. The diabatic process can also play an important role in controlling surface air temperature. For example, precipitation anomalies can...
Significant BSISO-induced oceanic temperature anomalies occur in the equatorial Indian Ocean and western Pacific, with the largest-amplitude anomalous signals arising around the thermocline and extending downward into the deep ocean to below 1000?m or more, which are associated with the equatorial ...
In other words, results at Norfolk are improved with the modifications for each storm except Hurricane Floyd, and the number of simulations that are improved for each region decreases northward; the modifications do not improve the results at Naragannsett Bay for any of the storms. 4. ...
