Southern African orography impacts on low clouds and the Atlantic ITCZ in a coupled model

Geophysical Research Letters, 2017
We examine the influence of southern African orography on the Namibian stratocumulus deck, the South Atlantic ocean‐to‐atmosphere energy transport, and the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), using an atmosphere‐only model and a coupled atmosphere ...

An Ocean of Weather [PDF]

In this lesson, students will investigate the close relationship between the ocean and the atmosphere to determine the extent the ocean affects the Earth's weather in the South Atlantic Bight region.

Mechanisms affecting the overturning response in global warming simulations [PDF]

, 2005
Climate models used to produce global warming scenarios exhibit widely diverging responses of the thermohaline circulation (THC). To investigate the mechanisms responsible for this variability, a regional Atlantic Ocean model driven with forcing ...

Assessing Past and Future Temperature‐ and Precipitation‐Based Indicators in the Republic of Yemen

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
For the first time in the literature, this work assesses the past and future climatic trends over Yemen, a highly vulnerable country for which science‐based, high‐quality information for the development of climate change adaptation plans was not available until now.

Ventilation of the North Atlantic Ocean during the Last Glacial Maximum: A comparison between simulated and observed radiocarbon ages [PDF]

, 2003
The distribution of radiocarbon during simulations of the Last Glacial Maximum with a coupled ocean-atmosphere-sea ice model is compared with sediment core measurements from the equatorial Atlantic Ceara Rise, Blake Ridge, Caribbean Sea, and South China ...

Hidden Markov Quantile Models With Trends for Analysing Air Temperature Data

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
There is the question of whether climate change, expressed by time‐trends in temperature, is of a heterogeneous nature or not. Here, the time‐trend heterogeneity argument has been investigated using Hidden Markov (HM) quantile time‐trends models in temperature time series.

In situ measurements of atmospheric O2 and CO2 reveal an unexpected O2 signal over the tropical Atlantic Ocean [PDF]

, 2017
We present the first meridional transects of atmospheric O2 and CO2 over the Atlantic Ocean. We combine these measurements into the tracer atmospheric potential oxygen (APO), which is a measure of the oceanic contribution to atmospheric O2 variations ...

Spatiotemporal Changes in Precipitation Concentration in the Atlantic‐European Region

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This study analyses changes in precipitation concentration using ERA5 and E‐OBS datasets. Gini index as a measure of precipitation concentration revealed a gradual expansion of areas with increasing unevenness in precipitation distribution across the Atlantic‐European region since 1961.

Contrasting Discrepancy in the Sea Level Budget Between the North and South Atlantic Ocean Since 2016

Earth and Space Science
The discrepancy in the observed global mean sea level budget increased significantly since 2016, but the budget discrepancy over basin‐scales is unclear.

Monitoring the Amazon River plume from satellite observations

GIScience & Remote Sensing
Most of our knowledge about the Amazon River plume is limited from the field experiments or modeling due to various challenges for satellite remote sensing, i.e., constant cloud coverage, atmospheric correction, and difficulties to differentiate the ...
