Kim, Joong Tae (Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)Open water in sea ice, such as leads and polynyas, plays a crucial role in determining the formation of deep- and bottom-water, as well as their long-term global properties and circulation. Ocean general circulation models ...
-
Muller, Jacob (2020-09-16)Historical estimates of equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS) potentially underestimate the true value of our climate system’s ECS due to the fact that the warming pattern experienced over the last century is different ...
-
Lee, Jangho (2023-05-01)This dissertation investigates extreme temperature events, their drivers, and their impact on society across three main sections. As the climate warms, understanding these events and their consequences becomes increasingly ...
-
Howard, Matthew Kendall (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)The baroclinic response due to forcing by a narrow current of a coastal ocean overlying a shelf with a submarine canyon was examined using a 1.5-layer enstrophy-conserving numerical model. Three canyon shapes were employed: ...
-
Mahajan, Salil (2009-05-15)The Wind-Evaporation-Sea Surface Temperature (WES) feedback is believedto play an important role in the tropics, where climate variability is governed byatmosphere-ocean coupled interactions. This dissertation reports on ...

Cheon, Woo Geunn (2009-05-15)This dissertation discusses a linkage between the Southern Ocean (SO) winds and the global ocean circulation in the framework of a coarse-resolution global ocean general circulation model coupled to a sea-ice model. In ...
-
Zhu, Xiaojie (2013-05-17)This dissertation reports on studies on the role of the mean state in modulating climate variability at interannual and decadal time scales. In the atmosphere, the nonlinear superposition of mean flow and anomalous flow ...
-
Myoung, Boksoon (2009-05-15)Since Texas normally receives most of its precipitation in the warm season, precipitation deficits in summertime may bring serious agricultural and hydrological disasters. While the underlying physical processes of summer ...

Xu, Gaopeng (2022-04-18)Impact of model horizontal resolution on sea-surface temperature (SST) biases and ocean heat uptake (OHU) projections are studied by comparing high-resolution (HR) and low-resolution (LR) Community Earth System Model (CESM) ...
-
Ge, Xiao (2022-12-08)A 9-year nature run (free run) and two assimilative runs of R-CESM are used to reveal the mechanisms of Loop Current (LC) deep dynamics. The numerical outputs are compared to the in-situ observations. Our results indicate ...
-
Steinweg-Woods, Jesse Matthew (2016-04-12)Oceanic eddies, approximately 80 km in diameter in the mid-latitude Atlantic Ocean, are frequently generated along the Gulf Stream. These eddies contain a sea surface temperature anomaly as they spin and break away from ...
-
Huaman Chuquihuaccha, Lidia (2021-11-17)The interaction of large-scale atmospheric circulations with convective systems in two tropical regions (i.e., the East Pacific and West Africa) is studied using field campaign, reanalysis, and satellite datasets. In the ...
-
Monroe, Emily Elizabeth (2016-12-06)The western rising branch of the local Walker circulation over the Atlantic intensifies as a result of enhanced convection and the associated latent heat release over the greater Amazon region. Monthly measurements gathered ...
-
Wu, Wei (Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)Spectral properties of global surface temperature and uncertainties of global climate sensitivity are explored in this work through the medium of Energy Balance Climate Models (EBCMs) and observational surface temperature ...
-
Yang, Chunxue 1984- (2012-12-06)Long-term changes of El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) are studied with the ensemble run of Simple Ocean Data Assimilation (SODA 2.2.6) and the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5). An eight member ocean ...
-
Arcomano, Troy J (2022-12-08)This study investigates the applications of machine learning (ML) to weather and climate modeling. We first show the potential for data-driven weather prediction by creating a low resolution, ML-based global atmospheric ...

Liu, Xiaoqing (2022-06-24)Over the past 66 million years (Myr), the Earth transitioned from a warm, ice-free greenhouse climate of the early Cenozoic to a cold icehouse climate with glaciated poles of the late Cenozoic. The late Miocene (~11.6-5.3 ...
