Belkin and Peter C. Cornillon Abstract. Oceanic fronts shape marine ecosystems; therefore front mapping and characterization is one of the most important aspects of physical oceanography. Here we report on the first effort to map and describe all major fronts in the World Ocean’s Large Marine Ecosystems (LMEs). Apart from a geographical review, these fronts are classified according to their origin and physical mechanisms that maintain them. This first-ever zero-order pattern of the LME fronts is based on a unique global frontal data base assembled at the University of Rhode Island. Thermal fronts were automatically derived from 12 years (1985-1996) of twice-daily satellite 9-km resolution global AVHRR SST fields with the Cayula-Cornillon front detection algorithm. These frontal maps serve as guidance in using hydrographic data to explore subsurface thermohaline fronts, whose surface thermal signatures have been mapped from space. Our most recent study of chlorophyll fronts in the Northwest Atlantic from high-resolution 1-km data (Belkin and O’Reilly, 2007) revealed a close spatial association between chlorophyll fronts and SST fronts, suggesting causative links between these two types of fronts.

  • A Metric for Quantifying El Niño Pattern Diversity with Implications for ENSO–Mean State Interaction
    Climate Dynamics (2019) 52:7511–7523 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00382-018-4194-3 A metric for quantifying El Niño pattern diversity with implications for ENSO–mean state interaction Danielle E. Lemmon1,2 · Kristopher B. Karnauskas1,2 Received: 7 September 2017 / Accepted: 26 March 2018 / Published online: 5 April 2018 © Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2018 Abstract Recent research on the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon increasingly reveals the highly complex and diverse nature of ENSO variability. A method of quantifying ENSO spatial pattern uniqueness and diversity is presented, which enables (1) formally distinguishing between unique and “canonical” El Niño events, (2) testing whether historical model simulations aptly capture ENSO diversity by comparing with instrumental observations, (3) projecting future ENSO diversity using future model simulations, (4) understanding the dynamics that give rise to ENSO diversity, and (5) analyzing the associated diversity of ENSO-related atmospheric teleconnection patterns. Here we develop a framework for measur- ing El Niño spatial SST pattern uniqueness and diversity for a given set of El Niño events using two indices, the El Niño Pattern Uniqueness (EPU) index and El Niño Pattern Diversity (EPD) index, respectively. By applying this framework to instrumental records, we independently confirm a recent regime shift in El Niño pattern diversity with an increase in unique El Niño event sea surface temperature patterns. However, the same regime shift is not observed in historical CMIP5 model simulations; moreover, a comparison between historical and future CMIP5 model scenarios shows no robust change in future ENSO diversity. Finally, we support recent work that asserts a link between the background cooling of the eastern tropical Pacific and changes in ENSO diversity.

  • Satellite Oceanography for Ocean Forecasting
    1 SATELLITE OCEANOGRAP HY FOR OCEAN FORECASTING P.Y. Le Traon CLS Space Oceanography Division Ocean Forecasting Oristano Summer School July 1997 Revised July 2000 - PAGE 1 - 1. OUTLINE This lecture aims at providing a general introduction to satellite oceanography in the context of ocean forecasting. Satellite oceanography is an essential component in the development of operational oceanography. Major advances in sensor development and scientific analysis have been achieved in the last 20 years. As a result, several techniques are now mature (e.g. altimetry, infra-red imagery) and provide quantitative and unique measurements of the ocean system. We begin with a general overview of space oceanography, summarizing why it is so useful for ocean forecasting and briefly describing satellite oceanography techniques, before looking at the status of present and future missions. We will then turn to satellite altimetry, probably the most important and mature technique currently in use for ocean forecasting. We will also detail measurement principles and content, explain the basic data processing, including the methodology for merging data sets, and provide an overview of results recently obtained with TOPEX/POSEIDON and ERS-1/2 altimeter data. Lastly, we will focus on real-time aspects crucial for ocean forecasting. Perspectives will be given in the conclusion. 2. OVERVIEW OF SPACE OCEANOGRAPHY 2.1 WHY DO WE NEED SATELLITES FOR OCEAN FORECASTING? An ocean hindcasting/forecasting system must be based on the assimilation of observation data into a numerical model. It also must have precise forcing data. The ocean is, indeed, a turbulent system. ―Realistic‖ models of the ocean are impossible to construct owing both to uncertainty of the governing physics and of an initial state (not to mention predictability issues).

  • On the Connection Between the Mediterranean Outflow and The
    FEBRUARY 2001 OÈ ZGOÈ KMEN ET AL. 461 On the Connection between the Mediterranean Out¯ow and the Azores Current TAMAY M. OÈ ZGOÈ KMEN,ERIC P. C HASSIGNET, AND CLAES G. H. ROOTH RSMAS/MPO, University of Miami, Miami, Florida (Manuscript received 18 August 1999, in ®nal form 19 April 2000) ABSTRACT As the salty and dense Mediteranean over¯ow exits the Strait of Gibraltar and descends rapidly in the Gulf of Cadiz, it entrains the fresher overlying subtropical Atlantic Water. A minimal model is put forth in this study to show that the entrainment process associated with the Mediterranean out¯ow in the Gulf of Cadiz can impact the upper-ocean circulation in the subtropical North Atlantic Ocean and can be a fundamental factor in the establishment of the Azores Current. Two key simpli®cations are applied in the interest of producing an eco- nomical model that captures the dominant effects. The ®rst is to recognize that in a vertically asymmetric two- layer system, a relatively shallow upper layer can be dynamically approximated as a single-layer reduced-gravity controlled barotropic system, and the second is to apply quasigeostrophic dynamics such that the volume ¯ux divergence effect associated with the entrainment is represented as a source of potential vorticity. Two sets of computations are presented within the 1½-layer framework. A primitive-equation-based com- putation, which includes the divergent ¯ow effects, is ®rst compared with the equivalent quasigeostrophic formulation. The upper-ocean cyclonic eddy generated by the loss of mass over a localized area elongates westward under the in¯uence of the b effect until the ¯ow encounters the western boundary.

Biogeosciences Discuss., 8, 5827–5848, 2011 General Comment This article reports experimental estimates of community metabolism assessed at 8 stations in the eastern south Pacific conducted during the Humboldt-2009 cruise on board RV Hesperides from 5 to 15 March 2009. An experimental evaluation of the ef- fect of UVB radiation on community metabolism is conducted. From few experiments the authors claim that UVB radiation suppressed net community production, result- ing in a dominance of heterotrophic communities in surface waters, compared to the C2596 prevalence of autotrophic communities inferred when materials, excluding UVB radia- tion, are used for incubation. They also claim that their results show that UVB radiation, which has increased greatly in the study area, may have suppressed net community production of the plankton communities, possibly driving plankton communities in the Southwest Pacific towards CO2 sources. The evidence provided in the manuscript is not sufficient to support the conclusions. The sampling is clearly too limited, both spatially and temporally, to extrapolate their results to the Humboldt Current System.

  • Measuring Global Mean Sea Level Changes with Surface Drifting Buoys
    Measuring global mean sea level changes with surface drifting buoys Shane Elipot Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, University of Miami Abstract Combining ocean model data and in-situ Lagrangian data, I show that an array of surface drifting buoys tracked by a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), such as the Global Drifter Program, could provide estimates of global mean sea level (GMSL) and its changes, including linear decadal trends. For a sustained array of 1250 globally distributed buoys with a standardized design, I demonstrate that GMSL decadal linear trend estimates with an uncertainty less than 0.3 mm yr−1 could be achieved with GNSS daily random error of 1.6 m or less in the vertical direction. This demonstration assumes that controlled vertical position measurements could be acquired from drifting buoys, which is yet to be demonstrated. Development and implementation of such measurements could ultimately provide an independent and resilient observational system to infer natural and anthropogenic sea level changes, augmenting the on-going tide gauge and satellites records. 1 Introduction Modern global mean sea level (GMSL) rise is an intrinsic measure of anthropogenic climate change. It is mainly the result of the thermal expansion of the warming ocean's water and the increase of ocean's mass from melting terrestrial ice (Rhein et al., 2013; Church et al., 2013; Frederikse et al., 2020). Global mean sea level rise is a major driver of the regional (Hamlington et al., 2018) and coastal sea level extremes (Woodworth and Men´endez,2015; Marcos and Woodworth, 2017) that impact millions of human lives and assets (Anthoff et al., 2006; Nicholls et al., 2011), and threatens ecosystems (Craft et al., 2009).

  • Latitudinal Structure of the Meridional Overturning Circulation Variability on Interannual to Decadal Time Scales in the North Atlantic Ocean
    1MAY 2020 Z O U E T A L . 3845 Latitudinal Structure of the Meridional Overturning Circulation Variability on Interannual to Decadal Time Scales in the North Atlantic Ocean a SIJIA ZOU AND M. SUSAN LOZIER Duke University, Durham, North Carolina XIAOBIAO XU Center for Ocean–Atmospheric Prediction Studies, Florida State University, Tallahassee, Florida (Manuscript received 22 March 2019, in final form 31 January 2020) ABSTRACT The latitudinal structure of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) variability in the North Atlantic is investigated using numerical results from three ocean circulation simulations over the past four to five decades. We show that AMOC variability south of the Labrador Sea (538N) to 258N can be decomposed into a latitudinally coherent component and a gyre-opposing component. The latitudinally co- herent component contains both decadal and interannual variabilities. The coherent decadal AMOC vari- ability originates in the subpolar region and is reflected by the zonal density gradient in that basin. It is further shown to be linked to persistent North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) conditions in all three models. The in- terannual AMOC variability contained in the latitudinally coherent component is shown to be driven by westerlies in the transition region between the subpolar and the subtropical gyre (408–508N), through sig- nificant responses in Ekman transport. Finally, the gyre-opposing component principally varies on interan- nual time scales and responds to local wind variability related to the annual
