The Role of Ocean Dynamics in the Optimal Growth of Tropical SST Anomalies

The Role of Ocean Dynamics in the Optimal Growth of Tropical SST Anomalies

The role of ocean dynamics in optimally exciting interannual variability of tropical sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies is investigated using an idealized-geometry ocean general circulation model. Initial temperature and salinity perturbations leading to an optimal growth of tropical SST anomal...
