Temporal coherence in North Pacific sea-surface temperature patterns

Namias, Jerome, Born, Robert M.·1970·Journal of Geophysical Research

Abstract

Temporal coherence between monthly mean temperature patterns for the sea surface of the North Pacific is far greater than any known meteorological coherence, has a smooth non-Markovian die-away with increasing lag, and is greatest when preceded by cold season months. When stratified according to initial month, the data show a striking tendency for pattern recurrence from one nonsummer month to subsequent months out to two years except for summer. Apparently this pattern recurrence is due to storage of anomalously cold or warm water that is shielded by a shallow layer in summer but is stirred up to the surface by the increased wind stress during cold months.

Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Winter SST anomalies persist at depth during the summer months below the shallow mixed layer, reemerging in the SSTA the following winter as the summer seasonal thermocline is eroded.

    “Winter SST anomalies persist at depth during the summer months below the shallow mixed layer, reemerging in the SSTA the following winter as the summer seasonal thermocline is eroded.”
  • Regions characterised by a strong seasonal variation in MLD may display the phenomenon of re-emergence of winter-to-winter SSTA.

    “Regions characterised by a strong seasonal variation in MLD may also display the phenomenon of re-emergence of winter-to-winter SSTA9–13.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
