Author:Dufois, F; Penven, P; Whittle, CP; Veitch, JDate:2012Using in situ sea surface temperature (SST) data and MODIS/TERRA SST, the monthly AVHRR Pathfinder (version 5.0 and 5.2) SST product was evaluated within the four main Eastern Boundary Upwelling Systems. A warm bias in the monthly Pathfinder ...Read more
Author:Rapeti, T; Backeberg, BjörnDate:Oct 2016Data assimilative ocean models play crucial roles in furthering the understanding, and providing forecasts of the Agulhas Current system. This study investigates the impact that assimilating sea surface temperatures (SST) combined with sea ...Read more
Author:Krug, Marjolaine J; Tournadre, JDate:Aug 2012Ocean models show an annual cycle in the Agulhas Current transport which has not yet been confirmed in analyses of in-situ or satellite observations. A cross-stream coordinate approach is used to study the variability of the Agulhas Current ...Read more
Author:Roualt, M; Backeberg, BjörnDate:Oct 2016Sea-surface temperature (SST), altimetry derived sea-level anomalies (SLA) and surface current are used south of the Agulhas Current to identify warm core mesoscale ocean eddies presenting a distinct SST perturbation superior to 1(supo)C to ...Read more
