The warm pool temperature is fairly consistent despite the change in depth, indicating perhaps that the warm water is well mixed?HowSmarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16547370604816583868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2220966763638300672.post-78680630596437348082010-01-05T10:05:59.827-05:002010-01-05T10:05:59.827-05:00hswiseman: You asked, "How deep do these ano...hswiseman: You asked, "How deep do these anomalies penetrate?"<br /><br />Luckily, the cross sections presented in the ECMWF Meridional Secions...<br />http://www.ecmwf.int/products/forecasts/d/charts/ocean/real_time/yzmaps/<br />...provides a look at 140W.

(BTW,I really appreciate the relentless scientific orientation here. I really am sick of politics in all its forms).HowSmarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16547370604816583868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2220966763638300672.post-27701713778099388392010-01-04T22:43:55.671-05:002010-01-04T22:43:55.671-05:00I went back and did the background check I should ...I went back and did the background check I should have done first.<br /><br />There were eruptions off Guam and Tonga during that time period. I also checked Ocean Current maps and it would appear unlikely that the Tonga eruption, the closer one, would have had a significant impact on the gyre anomaly alone.kuhnkatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2220966763638300672.post-58163612766887287312010-01-04T20:50:40.972-05:002010-01-04T20:50:40.972-05:00Yup, I am.
