The diurnal salinity cycle in the tropics
Observations from 35 tropical moorings are used to characterize the diurnal cycle in salinity at 1 m depth. The amplitude of diurnal salinity anomalies is up to 0.01 psu and more typically 0.005 psu. Diurnal variations in precipitation and vertical entrainment appear to be the dominant drivers of diurnal salinity variability, with evaporation also contributing. Areas where these processes are s...
متن کاملExtreme wave events in the Gulf of Tehuantepec
Observations of extreme, “freak” or “rogue waves” have typically depended on chance observations from ships at sea or from fixed oil or gas platforms. The observations have been so sparse that there are very few direct temporal or spatial measurements, and those that do exist are so infrequent that they have often been individually named: e.g. the “Draupner Wave.” Such named observations tend t...
متن کاملUsing SAR Remote Sensing, Field Observations, and Models to Better Understand Coastal Flows in the Gulf of Alaska
T he mesoscale atmospheric flow near coastlines with rugged, steep terrain is often very complex and can be quite intense (Young and Winstead 2005). During the cool season, extratropical cyclones over the Pacific Ocean frequently make landfall along the southeast coast of Alaska. Interaction of these synoptic-scale disturbances with the steeply rising coastal terrain (see Fig. 1) can produce st...
متن کاملAtmospheric response to Atlantic tropical instability waves in Community Atmosphere Model version 3
[1] Tropical instability waves (TIWs) are 20to 40-day waves that appear along the sea surface temperature (SST) front of the equatorial cold tongues. In this study, we investigate the atmospheric planetary boundary layer response to TIW-induced SST variations in the tropical Atlantic Ocean using Community Atmosphere Model version 3 (CAM3) developed at the National Center for Atmospheric Researc...
متن کاملObservations of Gulf of Tehuantepec Gap Wind Events from QuikSCAT: An Updated Event Climatology and Operational Model Evaluation
A climatology of galeand storm-force gap wind events in the Gulf of Tehuantepec is constructed for the first time using 10 yr of ocean surface vector wind data from the SeaWinds scatterometer on board NASA’s Quick Scatterometer (QuikSCAT) satellite. These wind events are among the most severe that occur within the National Hurricane Center’s (NHC) area of marine forecasting responsibility outsi...
