The Indonesian throughflow, its variability and centennial change
The Indonesian Throughflow (ITF) is an important component of the upper cell of the global overturning circulation that provides a low-latitude pathway for warm, fresh waters from the Pacific to enter the Indian Ocean. Variability and changes of the ITF have significant impacts on Indo-Pacific oceanography and global climate. In this paper, the observed features of the ITF and its interannual t...
متن کاملAdvances in Geosciences Volume 24: Ocean Sciences (OS) (144 Pages)
Because of the huge warm water pool that straddles across the tropical western Pacific and eastern Indian Oceans, the climate variations in these two oceans are closely related and need to be studied as a whole. Observations reveal a striking out-of-phase relationship between the zonal sea surface height (SSH) gradients in these two oceans and, to a lesser extent, between the corresponding sea ...
متن کاملTropical–North Pacific Climate Linkages over the Past Four Centuries*
Analyses of instrumental data demonstrate robust linkages between decadal-scale North Pacific and tropical Indo-Pacific climatic variability. These linkages encompass common regime shifts, including the noteworthy 1976 transition in Pacific climate. However, information on Pacific decadal variability and the tropical high-latitude climate connection is limited prior to the twentieth century. He...
متن کاملThe Role of the Indonesian Throughflow in the Indo–Pacific Climate Variability in the GFDL Coupled Climate Model
The impacts of the Indonesian Throughflow (ITF) on the tropical Indo–Pacific climate, particularly on the character of interannual variability, are explored using a coupled general circulation model (CGCM). A pair of CGCM experiments—a control experiment with an open ITF and a perturbation experiment in which the ITF is artificially closed—is integrated for 200 model years, with the 1990 values...
متن کاملChanges in the In-Phase Relationship Between the Indian and Subsequent Australian Summer Monsoons During the Past Five Decades
This study examines the decadal changes in the in-phase relationship between Indian summer monsoon and the subsequent Australian summer monsoon using observational data from 1950–2005. The in-phase relationship is the tendency for a strong Indian summer monsoon to be followed by a strong Australian summer monsoon and vice versa. It is found that the in-phase relationship was weak during the lat...
