This book is focused on fundamental aspects of climate variability
in the ocean, in particular changes of the wind-driven circulation.
The vertical movement of isopycnal (isothermal) layers, including
their stretching and compression, is called heaving and stretching.
A major part of climate variability in the ocean is heaving in
nature. Heave is primarily associated with the adiabatic motions of
isopycnal layers due to change of wind stress. It is rather
difficult to separate the contributions from adiabatic and diabatic
processes. Isopycnal analysis has been widely used in climate
study; however, it is much more accurate to study the isopycnal
layers. Here climate signals are examined in terms of changes of
layer depth, layer thickness, layer temperature/salinity, spicity
and others. In addition to the traditional Theta-S diagram, the
sigma-pi (potential density - potential spicity) diagram can also
be used in analyzing water mass property distribution and climate
variability. In fact, a radius of signal can be defined rigorously
for signals in the sigma-pi diagram; the combination of isopycnal
analysis and evaluation of radius of signal provides a powerful
tool in analyzing climate variability in the world oceans.
