Interannual Change in Global Upper Ocean Thermal Structure from 1979-1988

在这个项目中，PI将使用全球XBT数据集， 1979-1988年的10年期间， 研究地球仪的季节和年际变化。 的 特别令人感兴趣的是海面温度和垂直 平均温度超过400米，后者 解决热含量和空间海平面的变化。 一个 预期的结果是确定全球遥相关， 海表温度和 与厄尔尼诺有关的垂直平均温度， 南方涛动 与季节大气的互相关 压力场将允许研究全球的耦合模式 可变性

In this project, the PI's will use the global XBT data set over the 10-year period, 1979-1988 to map the thermal structure over the globe and study seasonal and interannual variability. Of particular interest are the sea surface temperature and vertically averaged temperature over the upper 400 meters, the latter addressing variability of heat content and steric sea level. An expected result is the identification of global teleconnections in the interannual variability of both sea surface temperature and vertically averaged temperature associated with El Nino and Southern Oscillation. Cross correlation with seasonal atmospheric pressure fields will allow the study of coupled modes of global variability.
