Relative roles of land- and ocean-atmosphere interactions in Asian-Pacific thermal contrast variability at the precessional band
In a 250-kyr transient simulation of the Community Earth System Model (CESM), we identified a precessional forced seesaw of the summer middle-upper tropospheric eddy temperature between Asia and the North Pacific as the paleo-APO (Asian-Pacific oscillation). The paleo-APO variability is out of phase with the precession parameter. Corresponding to a positive paleo-APO phase, both the subtropical...
متن کاملSeasonal variation of eddy kinetic energy of the North Pacific Subtropical Countercurrent simulated by an eddy-resolving OGCM
[1] The seasonal variation of eddy kinetic energy (EKE) of the North Pacific Subtropical Countercurrent (STCC) was investigated by analyzing the data from an eddy-resolving OGCM with the horizontal resolution 1/12 in comparison with satellite altimetry data. Although the annual cycle of simulated EKE of the whole STCC domain showed agreement with satellite data, with a maximum in spring and a m...
متن کاملAnnual net community production in the subtropical Pacific Ocean from in situ oxygen measurements on profiling floats
Annual net community production (ANCP) in the subtropical Pacific Ocean was determined by using annual oxygen measurements from Argo profiling floats with an upper water column oxygen mass balance model. ANCP was determined to be from 2.0 to 2.4 mol C m 2 yr 1 in the western subtropical North Pacific, 2.4 mol C m 2 yr 1 in the eastern subtropical North Pacific, and near zero in the subtropical ...
متن کاملModeling of Tropical Forcing of Persistent Droughts and Pluvials over Western North America: 1856–2000*
The causes of persistent droughts and wet periods, or pluvials, over western North America are examined in model simulations of the period from 1856 to 2000. The simulations used either (i) global sea surface temperature data as a lower boundary condition or (ii) observed data in just the tropical Pacific and computed the surface ocean temperature elsewhere with a simple ocean model. With both ...
متن کاملThe relative importance of tropical variability forced from the North Pacific through ocean pathways
To what extent is tropical variability forced from the North Pacific through ocean pathways relative to locally generated variability and variability forced through the atmosphere? To address this question, in this study we use an anomaly-coupled model, consisting of a global, atmospheric general circulation model and a 41⁄2layer, reduced-gravity, Pacific-Ocean model. Three solutions are obtain...
