A global climatology of the diurnal variations in sea-surface temperature and implications for MSU temperature trends [PDF]
A global climatology of diurnal variations in sea-surface temperature based on in situ drifting-buoy data has been created. The diurnal warming signal derived from these data correlates well with estimates from a version of the Stuart-Menteth (2004 ...

On skillful decadal predictions of the subpolar North Atlantic [PDF]
The North Atlantic is a crucial region for the prediction of weather and climate of North America and Europe and is the focus of this analysis. A skillful decadal prediction of the surface temperature was shown for several Earth system models, with the ...

Can climate models capture the structure of extratropical cyclones? [PDF]
Composites of wind speeds, equivalent potential temperature, mean sea level pressure, vertical velocity, and relative humidity have been produced for the 100 most intense extratropical cyclones in the Northern Hemisphere winter for the 40-yr ECMWF Re ...

Twenty‐five years of high‐resolution (1/12°) ocean reanalysis are used to examine the Confluence of the Malvinas Current (MC) with the Brazil Current (BC) from synoptic to interannual time scales. The model transports of the MC (38.0 Sv ± 7.4 Sv 57 at 41°

Investigating the impact of reanalysis snow input on an observationally calibrated snow-on-sea-ice reconstruction [PDF]
A key uncertainty in reanalysis-based snow-on-sea-ice reconstructions is the choice of reanalysis product used for snowfall input. Although reanalysis products have many similarities in their precipitation output over the Arctic Ocean, they nevertheless ...

Development and evaluation of a high-resolution reanalysis of the East Australian Current region using the Regional Ocean Modelling System (ROMS 3.4) and Incremental Strong-Constraint 4-Dimensional Variational (IS4D-Var) data assimilation [PDF]
As with other Western Boundary Currents globally, the East Australian Current (EAC) is highly variable making it a challenge to model and predict. For the EAC region, we combine a high-resolution state-of-the-art numerical ocean model with a variety of ...

Mixed layer temperature response to the southern annular mode: Mechanisms and model representation [PDF]
Previous studies have shown that simulated sea surface temperature (SST) responses to the southern annular mode (SAM) in phase 3 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP3) climate models compare poorly to the observed response.

Towards a dynamically balanced eddy-resolving ocean reanalysis: BRAN3 [PDF]
Abstract The generation and evolution of eddies in the ocean are largely due to instabilities that are unpredictable, even on short time-scales. As a result, eddy-resolving ocean reanalyses typically use data assimilation to regularly adjust the model state.
