Evaluating and Extending the Ocean Wind Climate Data Record
2017
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
The ocean wind CDRs (OW-CDRs) are evaluated by comparisons with ocean buoys and intercomparisons among the different satellite sensors and among the different data providers. ...
As an aid to such activities, the various wind datasets are being intercalibrated and merged into consistent climate data records (CDRs). ...
ACKNOWLEDGMENT This paper was originally prepared by the International Ocean Vector Wind Science Team (IOVWST) Climate Working Group as a report requested by NASA's Earth Science Division. ...

Recent Antarctic sea ice trends in the context of Southern Ocean surface climate variations since 1950
2014
Geophysical Research Letters
This study compares the distribution of surface climate trends over the Southern Ocean in austral summer between 1979-2011 and 1950-1978, using a wide variety of data sets including uninterpolated gridded ...
Such physically consistent trends across a range of independently measured parameters provide robust evidence for multidecadal climate variability over the Southern Ocean and place the recent Antarctic ...

Towards a Climate Data Record of satellite ocean vector winds
2012
2012 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium
A Climate Data Record of ocean surface winds is very valuable for climate research, as surface winds are key drivers of oceanic and atmospheric processes which regulate global and regional climate. ...
Here we present a methodology ideal for merging different dataset to produce a Climate Data Record of ocean surface winds. ...
Our goal is to combine all these ocean vector winds observations to create an intercalibrated Climate Data Record suitable for climate research. ...

A westward extension of the warm pool leads to a westward extension of the Walker circulation, drying eastern Africa
2011
Climate Dynamics
Over the past 60 years, the Indian Ocean warmed two to three times faster than the central tropical Pacific, extending the tropical warm pool to the west by *40°longitude ([4,000 km). ...
This propensity toward rapid warming in the Indian Ocean has been the dominant mode of interannual variability among SSTs throughout the tropical Indian and Pacific Oceans (55°E-140°W) since at least 1948 ...
We also thank and acknowledge the CMIP3 modeling groups for providing data for analysis, and the World Climate Research Programme for collecting and archiving the model output. ...

Tropical cyclone activity and western North Atlantic stratification over the last millennium: a comparative review with viable connections
2011
Journal of Quaternary Science
Assessing the role this mixing plays in the overall stratification of the upper ocean is difficult, due to the relatively short and incomplete instrumental record. ...
Proxy records for both TC landfalls and oceanographic stratification are preserved within the geological record and provide insight for how past changes in TC-induced mixing have potentially affected water ...
