Mean surface topography of the northwest Atlantic: Comparison of estimates based on satellite, terrestrial gravity, and oceanographic observations
The accuracy of a new mean sea surface topography (MSST) of the northwest Atlantic is assessed. The MSST is estimated from 12 years of altimeter observations referenced with respect to a new regional geoid based on a blend ... -
Madden-Julian Oscillation and sea level: Local and remote forcing
The Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) is the dominant mode of atmospheric variability in the tropical atmosphere on intraseasonal time scales (i.e., weeks to seasons). This study examines the connection between the MJO and ... -
Tropical Pacific Ocean and the Madden-Julian Oscillation: Role of wind and buoyancy forcing
A global ocean circulation model is used to examine the dynamical response of the tropical Pacific Ocean to forcing associated with the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO). Model sensitivity experiments first reveal that ... -
Sea level and circulation variability of the Gulf of Carpentaria; influence of the Madden-Julian Oscillation and the adjacent deep ocean
The Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) is a significant contributing factor to intraseasonal variability in both the tropical and extratropical atmosphere and ocean. Sea level and circulation variations in the Gulf of Carpentaria ... -
The mean surface circulation of the North Atlantic subpolar gyre: A comparison of estimates derived from new gravity and oceanographic measurements
A new mean sea surface topography (MSST) is used to estimate the surface circulation of the subpolar gyre of the northwest Atlantic. The MSST is produced using a new geoid model derived from a blend of gravity data from ... -
Mapping the relationship between northern hemisphere winter surface air temperature and the Madden-Julian oscillation
A regression-based modeling approach is described for mapping the dependence of atmospheric state variables such as surface air temperature (SAT) on the Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO). For the special case of a linear ...
