Analysis of Antarctic Sea Ice Thickness: A Newly Created Database for 2000-2009
(2012-10-19)Observations of Antarctic sea ice thickness are sporadic in space and time, hindering knowledge of its variability. A proxy based on stage of development data from the National Ice Center (NIC) weekly operational charts ... -
Analysis of Interannual Variability in the Eastern Equatorial Pacific Ocean Using a High Resolution Regional Ocean Modeling System
(2016-04-29)Interannual variability in the Eastern Equatorial Pacific Ocean is explored using a high resolution ocean model. The model domain covers the coast of South America to 96°W, including the Galapagos Islands, and from 15°S ... -
Analysis of Upwelling Changes in the Eastern Equatorial Pacific during El Niño Southern Oscillation
(2012-02-14)The ocean reanalysis Simple Ocean Data Assimilation (SODA) 2.2.4 is used to explore the changes in upwelling from normal conditions to either El Nino or La Nina conditions. Physical and thermodynamic variables from the ... -
Analyzing El Niño- Southern Oscillation Sensitivity in a Large Ensemble of Ocean Reanalyses
(2015-05-05)A 56-member ensemble of ocean reanalyses is used to explore strong El Niño events in two 5-year periods, 1916 to 1920 and 1996 to 2000, that have markedly different quantities of observations. To generate the 56 forcing ... -
Antarctic Circumpolar Current System and its Response to Atmospheric Variability
(2012-08-16)The Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) is well known for its multiple bands with large meridional property gradients in the upper waters, each associated with a deep-reaching current core. A revised nineteen-year time ... -
CLIMATE-FIRE RELATIONSHIPS IN THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS
(2011-01-11)This study is meant to explain the fire regime of the southern Appalachian Mountain Range of the southeastern United States by analyzing spatial statistics and climate-fire relationships. The spatial statistics were created ... -
A coupled model study of the remote influence of enso on tropical Atlantic sst variability
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)To investigate the tropical Atlantic response to the remote El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) forcing, a Reduced Physics – Coupled Global Circulation Model (RP-CGCM) is developed, and four experiments are carried out. ... -
The long-term change of El Niño Southern Oscillation in an ensemble reanalysis and climate coupled models
(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 ... -
Model Aided Observational Study of Physical Processes in the Northwestern Arabian / Persian Gulf in Response to the Shamal Wind Event
(2015-04-29)In the present study we define a Shamal event as a WNW-N wind with an hourly average speed ≥ 9.85 m/s blowing during at least 3 hours/day. These events have a significant impact on surface heat fluxes (shortwave, longwave, ... -
A Multi-Decadal Precipitation Evaluation for Namibia Using Satellite, Model, and Ground-Based Data
(2019-06-18)Precipitation in southern Africa exhibits high variability with rain often falling in an intense deluge or not at all. Considerable research has gone into understanding what drives precipitation in southern Africa and how ... -
Technology adoption: who is likely to adopt and how does the timing affect the benefits?
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)Many fields of economics point to technology as the primary vehicle for change. Agencies pushing change often promote technology adoption to achieve their goals. To improve our understanding of how efforts to push new ... -
Understanding and Predicting Changes in Precipitation and Water Availability Under the Influence of Large-Scale Circulation Patterns: Rio Grande and Texas
(2012-12-11)Large-scale circulation patterns have a significant modulating influence on local hydro-meteorological variables, and consequently on water availability. An understanding of the influence of these patterns on the hydrological ... -
Verifying the Patterns of the Antarctic Dipole Using Reanalysis Data
(2014-09-15)The Antarctic Dipole (ADP) is a dipole-like pattern seen in various atmospheric and oceanic variables between the Atlantic and Pacific sectors of the Southern Ocean, respectively. It has been used to infer teleconnections ...
