Trend of the Caspian Sea surface temperature changes
The interaction between sea and atmosphere has profound effects on the regions climate. Meanwhile, the sea surface temperature is considered as one of the most effective components of water bodies, and the controller of many atmospheric behaviors. Because of the importance of sea surface temperatures effects on atmospheric elements and also given the role of global warming on land and sea surfa...
متن کاملSea surface temperature variability: patterns and mechanisms.
Patterns of sea surface temperature (SST) variability on interannual and longer timescales result from a combination of atmospheric and oceanic processes. These SST anomaly patterns may be due to intrinsic modes of atmospheric circulation variability that imprint themselves upon the SST field mainly via surface energy fluxes. Examples include SST fluctuations in the Southern Ocean associated wi...
متن کاملMean Surface Circulation of the Global Ocean Inferred from Satellite Altimeter and Drifter Data
Sea level anomaly from satellite altimetry and in situ near-surface drifter velocities, combined within a simplified equation of horizontal momentum, reveal peculiar dynamical balances in the strongest known currents of the World Ocean. In the Gulf Stream, this study demonstrates the importance of centrifugal force due to the curvature of the streamlines. After filtering out Ekman currents (usi...
متن کاملFronts in the Southern Indian Ocean as inferred from satellite sea surface temperature data
Sea surface temperature (SST) derived from the weekly measurements made by the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometers (AVHRR) of NOAA satellites was used to investigate the structure and space-time variability of large-scale fronts in the Southern Indian Ocean (30–60jS and 20–150jE) during the period of 1997–1999. Monthly SST gradient maps provided an overall view of five basic fronts: the N...
متن کاملTotal Sea Surface Current Circulation Pattern in the South China Sea Derived from Satellite Altimetry
Sea surface currents and circulation patterns can be estimated globally and in a continuous manner using satellite radar altimeters. This study is concerned with the surface current circulation pattern in the South China Sea. The main data utilized are the tidal amplitudes from co-tidal charts, the sea level anomaly and the wind speed from the Jason-1 satellite altimetry data. Algorithms used t...
