ocean heat content

Significant decadal-scale impact of volcanic eruptions on sea level and ocean heat content.

Simulated and observed decadal variability in ocean heat content Geophys.

Early on July 10, Daniel continued to weaken, eventually becoming a small, shallow tropical storm over a low ocean heat content.

A well-defined eye developed in the center of convection, and after moving over a local increase in ocean heat content, Gonu rapidly deepened.

High ocean heat content and good equatorward outflow allowed Sepat to maintain its intensity, but an eyewall replacement cycle began later that night.

For example, the recovery time of ocean heat content of Pinatubo, which caused comparable radiative forcing to Krakatau, seems to be much shorter.

The volcanic cooling signals in ocean heat content can persist for much longer time (decadal or mutil-decadal time scale), far beyond the duration of volcanic forcing.

As convection organised with increasing ocean heat content, the JTWC issued its first warning on Tropical Cyclone 03B.

A major implication of this is that a depth-temperature profile can be integrated to estimate upper ocean heat content; the bias in these equations lead to a warm bias in the heat content estimations.

This complex surface pattern largely reflects wind-driven changes in the thickness of the upper layer of the ocean, and to a lesser extent changes in upper ocean heat content driven by surface fluxes.

The JTWC issued its first warning on Tropical Depression 04W later that day, and forecast a gradual intensification, as weak to moderate wind shear and weak poleward outflow balanced the effect of high ocean heat content.

John A. Church of the marine and atmospheric research division of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization and colleagues developed climate simulation models to take into account the impact of Pinatubo and other major eruptions over the past century, using data on ocean heat content.

With the help of excellent poleward outflow and high ocean heat content, Typhoon Choi-wan remained at its peak intensity until early on September 17 when deep convection started to erode in the northwestern quadrant as the tropical upper tropospheric trough (TUTT) cell to the northwest was no longer providing good outflow.
