Interactive comment on “ ENSO surface shortwave radiation forcing over the tropical Pacific
The paper "ENSO surface shortwave radiation forcing over the tropical Pacific" by Pavlakis et al adds the shortwave component to their earlier study, published in this journal, which examined ENSO surface longwave radiation forcing. The paper is fine, but the results basically corroborate previously published work regarding the evolution of ENSO induced changes in atmospheric circulation, outgo...
متن کاملENSO surface shortwave radiation forcing over the tropical Pacific
We have studied the spatial and temporal variation of the downward shortwave radiation (DSR) at the surface of the Earth during ENSO events for a 21-year period over the tropical and subtropical Pacific Ocean (40 S–40 N, 90 E–75 W). The fluxes were computed using a deterministic model for atmospheric radiation transfer, along with satellite data from the ISCCP-D2 database, reanalysis data from ...

The aim of this paper was to show the DSR-A patterns and to quantify the DSR variations during the ENSO oscillation. The inclusion of all-wave net surface radiation (NTS) would produce a lengthy paper. Nevertheless we had already included some discussion on the NTS field for some regions like the Niño-3.4 region. For the referee’s interest, we can provide upon request a figure with NTS anomalie...

متن کاملBiophysical Feedbacks in the Tropical Pacific
This study explores the influence of phytoplankton on the tropical Pacific heat budget. A hybrid coupled model for the tropical Pacific that is based on a primitive equation reduced-gravity multilayer ocean model, a dynamic ocean mixed layer, an atmospheric mixed layer, and a statistical atmosphere is used. The statistical atmosphere relates deviations of the sea surface temperature from its me...
