Atmospheric reanalysisCoastal upwellingEkman pumpingOcean forcing datasetsRemote sensingWindsOcean surface winds determine energy, material and momentum fluxes through the air-sea interface. Accounting for wind variability in time and space is thus essential to reliably analyze and simulate ocean circulation ...
Mixing at the ocean surface is key for atmosphere–ocean interactions and the distribution of heat, energy, and gases in the upper ocean. Winds are the primary force for surface mixing. To properly simulate upper ocean dynamics and the flux of these quantities within the upper ocean, models mu...
Model analysis winds such as those from European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) and National Centers for Environmental Prediction/National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCEP/NCAR) reanalyses are widely used for climate studies. However, large errors and different climate change ...
Finally, to match the minimum wind stress observed in the equatorial cold tongue at 0°, 95° W when computed from winds relative to surface currents, the gustiness was increased so that the daily averaged wind stress enhanced by the atmospheric gustiness (\(\overline{{\rm{gust}}_{\rm{...
Abstract: Characteristics of ocean surface winds in the lee of Rishiri Island, Japan, observed by synthetic aperture radar (17th Conference on AirSea Interaction/17th Conference on Satellite Meteorology and Oceanography/Ninth Conference on Coastal Atmospheric and Oceanic Prediction and Processes (26 - ...
For ice coring projects in these regions, the SMBδ15N proxy can perform better at capturing the local effects of strong winds, irregular surface topography, and high interannual snowfall variability than water isotopic techniques while avoiding problems with layer thinning, density modeling, and core...
Ketsana (Fig. 7a) produced the most precipitation amongst the four TCs ( Â2.79 )1013 kg in the simulation domain) and also produced the strongest winds and hence had the largest kinetic energy among the four. This is primarily due to its longer time over the ocean. Also, the transfer...
Global Evolution of an Accretion Disk with Net Vertical Field: Coronal Accretion, Flux Transport, and Disk Winds We report results from global ideal MHD simulations that study thin accretion disks (with thermal scale height H/R = 0.1 and 0.05) threaded by net vertical... Z Zhu,JM Stone - ...
4b shows that the 500 hPa winds exhibit an easterly anomaly over the cold surface temperature anomalies, with westerlies to the south. The strengthening of the PDO generates a westerly surface wind component that increases the prevailing westerly jet at mid-latitudes29,46. The enhanced westerly ...
slicks were only visible at wind speeds between 4 and 20 km h−1. At winds < 4 km h−1the ocean surface was predominantly smooth, while at winds > 20 km h−1the ocean surface was predominantly rippled. In either case, slicks were indiscernible and therefore could not be ...
