Supplementary material for "Spatio-temporal methods for estimating subsurface ocean thermal response to tropical cyclones."

Manifest:

  • pdf/ contains supplementary pdfs, including supplement.pdf, the main supplement.
  • pipeline-gridded/ implements the methodology using temperature profiles gridded at pressure levels 10, 20, ..., 200 dbar.
  • pipeline-integrated/ implements the methodology using the vertically averaged temperature profiles (from 10 dbar to 200 bar).
  • implementations/ provides custom code for thin plate splines.

More information is found in the README.md of each directory.

The above figure illustrates the ocean thermal response to tropical cyclone passage. The ocean response is characterized by a temperature decrease along the storm track, which begins in the near surface and continues into the subsurface, persisting for many days. A warming effect, induced by vertical mixing, is also observed in the subsurface on the track's right side. The asymmetry of the warming effect is attributed to the counterclockwise wind rotation of tropical cyclones in the Northern Hemisphere.
