North Atlantic oscillation response to anomalous Indian Ocean SST in a coupled GCM [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The dominant pattern of atmospheric variability in the North Atlantic sector is the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). Since the 1970s the NAO has been well characterized by a trend toward its positive phase.

Influence of the Multidecadal Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation Variability on European Climate [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The influence of the natural multidecadal variability of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (MOC) on European climate is investigated using a simulation with the coupled atmosphere–ocean general circulation model ECHAM5/Max Planck Institute ...

Vertical Structure and Seasonal Variability of Shear on the Southwestern Continental Slope of the East China Sea

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
The vertical structure and seasonal variability of shear were examined using nearly three years of mooring ADCP (acoustic Doppler current profiler) data on the southwestern continental slope of the East China Sea (ECS). Shear spectra suggest that the sub-

Impact of geothermal heating on the global ocean circulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
The response of a global circulation model to a uniform geothermal heat flux of 50 mW m-2 through the sea floor is examined. If the geothermal heat input were transported upward purely by diffusion, the deep ocean would warm by 1.2°C. However, geothermal

Atlantic Ocean Heat Transport Enabled by Indo-Pacific Heat Uptake and Mixing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The ocean transports vast amounts of heat around the planet, helping to regulate regional climate. One important component of this heat transport is the movement of warm water from equatorial regions toward the poles, with colder water flowing in return.

Zonal Structure of Tropical Pacific Surface Salinity Anomalies Affects the Eastern and Central Pacific El Niños Differently

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
Maximum sea surface salinity (SSS) anomalies are found in the central Pacific during the eastern Pacific El Niño (EPEN) and located further westward during the central Pacific El Niño (CPEN), but whether these differences affect event strengths is ...

Energy Sources Generation and Energy Cascades along the Kuroshio East of Taiwan Island and the East China Sea

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021
There are multi-spatial-scale ocean dynamic processes in the western boundary current region, so the budget of energy source and sink in the Kuroshio Current area can describe the oceanic energy cycle and transformation more accurately.

Characterization of Submesoscale Turbulence in the East/Japan Sea Using Geostationary Ocean Color Satellite Images

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2019
Submesoscale processes are key in understanding physical and biological phenomena near the surface, but there remains a lack of observational evidence over large areas.

Distinct Variability between Semidiurnal and Diurnal Internal Tides at the East China Sea Shelf

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
Breaking internal tides and induced mixing are critical to shelf dynamics, including heat and mass exchanges. Spatiotemporal variability of internal tides and modulation factors for the southern East China Sea shelf were examined based on a combination ...
