Diagnosis of Frontal Instabilities over the Southern Ocean
The development of three fronts over the Southern Ocean is described using SeaWinds-on-QuikSCAT scatterometer surface winds and an attribution technique to partition the wind field in three components: nondivergent and irrotational components at the scale of the front, and the remaining harmonic component (or environmental flow) induced by the synoptic-scale flow. The front and the environment ...
متن کاملA tropospheric ozone maximum over the equatorial Southern Indian Ocean
We examine the distribution of tropical tropospheric ozone (O3) from the Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) and the Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer (TES) by using a global three-dimensional model of tropospheric chemistry (GEOS-Chem). MLS and TES observations of tropospheric O3 during 2005 to 2009 reveal a distinct, persistent O3 maximum, both in mixing ratio and tropospheric column, in May over t...
متن کاملMechanisms controlling net air-sea heatflux over the Southern Ocean
The role of large-scale atmospheric eddies and the mean meridional circulation (the Ferrell cell) in explaining the observed net heating of the ocean in the latitude band of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) is examined in the NCEP-NCAR reanalyses. Emphasis is placed on processes limiting evaporative cooling rather than on on those promoting radiative heat gain. It is found that the moist...
متن کاملThe Antarctic Circumpolar Wave: A Beta Effect in Ocean–Atmosphere Coupling over the Southern Ocean
The Antarctic circumpolar wave (ACW) is a nominal 4-yr climate signal in the ocean–atmosphere system in the Southern Ocean, propagating eastward at an average speed of 6–8 cm s21, composed of two waves taking approximately 8 years to circle the globe. The ACW is characterized by a persistent phase relationship between warm (cool) sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies and poleward (equatorward...
متن کاملrelationships between arab sea and indian ocean surface temperature anomalies with precipitation over southern of iran
iran is located in arid and semiarid areas based on continental divisions; any change in precipitation would have potential effects on agriculture, economic and other related issues in general. therefore, it is of high importance to know and identify the moisture-related sources needed to study the country’s precipitation data. for this purpose, it is important to correlate monthly precipitatio...
