Estimating Wind Stress at the Ocean Surface From Scatterometer Observations [PDF]

open access: yes
—Wind stress is the most important ocean forcing for driving tropical surface currents. Stress can be estimated from scatterometer-reported wind measurements at 10 m that have been extrapolated to the surface, assuming a neutrally stable atmosphere and ...

TOGA COARE: Oceanic Lightning

Monthly Weather Review, 1996
Abstract A lightning detection network composed of three direction finders was installed in the western Pacific during TOGA COARE. The results are reported from one direction finder, at Kavieng, Papua New Guinea, for the months of January and February 1993, the latter half of the TOGA COARF 4-month period. Land and ocean sectors were defined.

ARMAR observations during TOGA/COARE

Proceedings of IGARSS '94 - 1994 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2002
The NASA/JPL Airborne Rain Mapping Radar (ARMAR) was deployed for rainfall observations during TOGA/COARE on the NASA DC-8 aircraft. A total of /spl sim/30 hours of rain profiling measurements were collected over the Western Pacific Ocean during January and February 1993.

Climate Model Forecast Experiments for TOGA COARE

Monthly Weather Review, 2008
Abstract Short-term (1–10 day) forecasts are made with climate models to assess the parameterizations of the physical processes. The time period for the integrations is that of the intensive observing period (IOP) of the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere Response Experiment (TOGA COARE).

TOGA COARE: The Coupled Ocean—Atmosphere Response Experiment

Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 1992
Despite significant progress in the Tropical Ocean–Global Atmosphere (TOGA) program, a number of major hurdles remain before the primary objective, prediction of the variability of the coupled ocean-atmosphere system on time scales of months to years, can be achieved. Foremost among these hurdles is understanding the physics that maintains and perturbs

Rawinsonde Budget Analyses during the TOGA COARE IOP

Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 1996
Abstract During the 120 days of the TOGA COARE intensive observation period, there was an enhanced network of rawinsonde stations covering a large portion of the equatorial West Pacific. These soundings were of sufficient quality and frequency to permit computation of line integral beat and moisture budgets over a variety of large-scale arrays. In this
