Coral Reef Bioerosion in the Eastern Tropical Pacific

, 2016
Bioerosion, the weakening and erosion of hard substrates by boring, etching, and grazing organisms, is a major structuring force on coral reefs of the Eastern Tropical Pacific (ETP). Bioerosional processes are the main source of reef erosion, and facilitate recycling of reefal carbonate. In healthy reefs, a dynamic balance exists between destructive (i.

On the relationship between weastern North Pacific tropical cyclone frequency and the tropical Pacific SST

, 2009
In this study we examine the relationship between the number of tropical cyclones (TCs) in the western North Pacific and the tropical Pacific sea surface temperature (SST) during the main TC season (July-August-September-October-November) for the period ...

Asymmetry in the effect of North Atlantic sea surface temperature on the eddy‐driven jet

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Projections of climate over Europe and the Atlantic are uncertain due to the uncertainty surrounding future changes in North Atlantic sea surface temperatures (SSTs). Here, we demonstrate that warming in the North Atlantic Ocean is linked to a transition to a negative phase of the North Atlantic Oscillation, as well as to an equatorward displacement of

Research on the Influence of SST in Different Regions on the Interannual Variability of Winter Fog Days over Eastern China

Gaoyuan qixiang
Based on observational data， it is evident that fog occurrence in Eastern China is notably higher during winter compared to other months.Spatial analysis of climatological statistics reveals a distinct heterogeneity， dividing Eastern China into northern ...

Coupled observation‐operator approximations in outer‐loop coupling data assimilation

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
We present a methodology for coupled variational data assimilation that allows the effect of coupled observation operators whilst maintaining separate minimisations across model components. This allows us to constrain the atmosphere, ocean, and sea‐ice components of our coupled model directly from satellite radiances. We illustrate the system in action

A new scale‐selective measure of curvature for meteorological fields

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
We introduce a novel diagnostic called curvature using radial variation (CURV) that quantifies the local cyclonic or anticyclonic curvature of mean‐sea‐level pressure or geopotential height gridded fields over selected scales. A depiction of how CURV values relate to differing cyclonic curvature is shown in the figure.

Revealing the hidden link of the Walker circulation on heavy rainfall patterns in the Eastern Pacific

Communications Earth & Environment
Understanding the relationship between tropical heavy rainfall and large-scale circulation provides valuable insights for improving the climate models. Here we use Gaussian Mixture Model to identify two distinct types of heavy rainfall over the tropical ...

Influence of Asian-Pacific Oscillation on Precipitation in Central Eastern China during Autumn (1960–2016)

Advances in Meteorology, 2019
The Asian-Pacific Oscillation (APO) plays an important role in precipitation in Central Eastern China (CEC). This study analyzed observational and reanalysis data to investigate CEC precipitation during autumn (1960–2016) and its association with the APO.
