Rate of Change of Heat Storage of the World Ocean

Abstract

Geophys. Fluid Dyn. Lab./NOAA, Princeton Univ., Princeton, NJ 08542, USA J (Journal-Article) M (Marine) Results of a Fourier analysis of climatological fields of the monthly rate of change of heat storage for the world ocean are presented. The amplitude and phase of the first harmonic are shown, as well as the percent variance of the annual cycle accounted for by this harmonic. These distributions are presented to describe the global geographical characteristics of the annual cycle of the rate of change of heat storage of the world ocean integrated through a depth of 275 m Ocean Technology, Policy and Non Living Resources (Q2); Biological Sciences and Living Resources (Q1) 1710719 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Record 1591 of 1621 - ASFA 1988-1996
