Hundreds of coral paleoclimate records have been developed over the past several
decades, significantly extending the instrumental record and improving our understanding of …

The role ships play in atmospheric, oceanic, and biogeochemical observations is described
with a focus on measurements made near the ocean surface. Ships include merchant and …

Abstract The In Situ Analysis System (ISAS) was developed to produce gridded fields of
temperature and salinity that preserve as much as possible the time and space sampling …

Global hydrographic and air–sea freshwater flux datasets are used to investigate ocean
salinity changes over 1950–2010 in relation to surface freshwater flux. On multi-decadal …

Paleoclimate observations constitute the only constraint on climate behavior prior to the
instrumental era. However, such observations only provide indirect (proxy) constraints on …

Near-Surface Salinity as Nature’s Rain Gauge to Detect Human Influence on the Tropical Water
Cycle in: Journal of Climate Volume 25 Issue 3 (2012) Jump to Content Logo Logo Logo Logo …

The recent detection of a central Pacific type of El Niño has added a new dimension to the El
Niño‐Southern Oscillation climatic puzzle. Sea surface salinity (SSS) observations collected …

While it is well known that the ocean is one of the most important component of the climate
system, with a heat capacity 1,100 times greater than the atmosphere, the ocean is also the …

In this study, using the Bjerknes stability (BJ) index analysis, we estimate the overall linear El
Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) stability and the relative contribution of positive feedbacks …

Based on Argo sea surface salinity (SSS) and the related precipitation (P), evaporation (E),
and sea surface height data sets, the climatological annual mean and low-frequency …
