Global Climatology of Low‐Level‐Jets: Occurrence, Characteristics, and Meteorological Drivers
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 129, Issue 9, 16 May 2024.Abstract Low‐level jets (LLJs), vertical profiles with a wind speed maxima in the lowest hundred meters of the troposphere, have multiple impacts in the Earth system, but a global present‐day climatology based on contemporary data does not exist. We use the spatially and temporally complete data set from ERA5 reanalysis to compile a global climatology ...

Revista de biologia tropical, 2001 Superficial seawater temperature (SST) and at two depths (7 and 12 m) were measured non-continuously during the study of the corals and coral reefs of Culebra Bay (1993-1996). SST showed seasonal variations of ~4°C. The highest average temperatures (27.0 ± 0.1, range 23-29°C) were during the rainy season from May to November and the lowest (22.9 ± 0.3 ...
