  • Madden-Julian Oscillation and sea level: Local and remote forcing 

    Oliver, ECJ, and K. R. Thompson. 2010. "Madden-Julian Oscillation and sea level: Local and remote forcing." Journal of Geophysical Research.C.Oceans 115(C01). DOI:10.1029/2009JC005337
    The Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) is the dominant mode of atmospheric variability in the tropical atmosphere on intraseasonal time scales (i.e., weeks to seasons). This study examines the connection between the MJO and ...

  • Predicting mesoscale variability of the North Atlantic using a physically motivated scheme for assimilating altimeter and Argo observations 

    Liu, Yimin, and K. R. Thompson. 2009. "Predicting mesoscale variability of the North Atlantic using a physically motivated scheme for assimilating altimeter and Argo observations." Monthly Weather Review 137(7): 2223-37. doi:10.1175/2008MWR2625.1
    A computationally efficient scheme is described for assimilating sea level measured by altimeters and vertical profiles of temperature and salinity measured by Argo floats. The scheme is based on a transformation of ...
