ECCOv4r4-Based Analysis of Cooling Trends in the Upper Tropical Eastern Pacific (CROCODILE)
Feng Jiang, Andrea Mosso, Antonio Robles, Suman Shekhar, Zhangzhe Zhaoa

What can cause a cooling trend on a warming planet?

Overview

  • There is a cooling trend over the tropical Pacific despite the global warming in recent decades, and reanalysis data does not have a clue.
  • Understanding the cooling by using budget/ sensitivity experiment in ECCO.

Products/Resources Used

  • ECCO v4r4: temperature, salinity, currents, sea surface height, temperature flux, and heat flux etc.
  • OSS and p-cluster.
  • ecco_v4_py, ecco_accees, ECCO_v4_Heat_budget_closure, and EMU.

Summary

  • Mixing matters and needs to be archived.
  • Many processes contribute to the long-term cooling.
