Can Paleoceanographic Tracers Constrain Meridional Circulation Rates?
Huybers, Peter John; Gebbie, Geoffrey A; Marchal, Olivier (American Meteorological Society, 2007)The ability of paleoceanographic tracers to constrain rates of transport is examined using an inverse method to combine idealized observations with a geostrophic model. Considered are the spatial distribution, accuracy, ... -
How is the ocean filled?
Gebbie, Geoffrey; Huybers, Peter John (Wiley-Blackwell, 2011)The ocean surface rapidly exchanges heat, freshwater, and gases with the atmosphere, but once water sinks into the ocean interior, the inherited properties of seawater are closely conserved. Previous water-mass decompositions ... -
Incorporating a Semi-Stochastic Model of Ocean-Modulated Westerly Wind Bursts into an ENSO Prediction Model
Gebbie, Geoffrey A; Tziperman, Eli (Springer Wien, 2009)Prediction models of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon often represent westerly wind bursts (WWBs), a significant player in ENSO dynamics, as stochastic forcing. A recent paper developed an observationally ... -
Meridional Circulation During the Last Glacial Maximum Explored Through a Combination of South Atlantic δ18O Observations and a Geostrophic Inverse Model
Gebbie, Geoffrey A; Huybers, Peter John (American Geophysical Union, 2006)The vertical profile of meridional transport in the South Atlantic is examined by combining paleoceanographic observations with a geostrophic circulation model using an inverse method. δ 18Ocalcite observations along the ... -
Modulation of Westerly Wind Bursts by Sea Surface Temperature: A Semistochastic Feedback for ENSO
Gebbie, Geoffrey A; Eisenman, Ian; Wittenberg, Andrew; Tziperman, Eli (American Meteorological Society, 2007)Westerly wind bursts (WWBs) in the equatorial Pacific are known to play a significant role in the development of El Niño events. They have typically been treated as a purely stochastic external forcing of ENSO. Recent ... -
Predictability of SST-Modulated Westerly Wind Bursts
Gebbie, Geoffrey A; Tziperman, Eli (American Meteorological Society, 2009)Westerly wind bursts (WWBs), a significant player in ENSO dynamics, are modeled using an observationally motivated statistical approach that relates the characteristics of WWBs to the large-scale sea surface temperature. ...
