Interannual Variations of the Tropical Ocean Instability Wave and ENSO (2008, background): “The period of a TIW is about 20–40 days, and its length is on the order of 1000 km (Legeckis 1977; Weisberg and Weingartner 1988; Qiao and Weisberg 1995).”
Ocean Circulation and Tropical Variability in the Coupled Model ECHAM5/MPI-OM (2006, methodology): “The temperature tendency from various contributions is stored in the model, and time averages, integrated over the upper 50 m [used as an estimate of the mean mixed layer depth (Huang and Liu 2002; Vialard et al. 2001)], are displayed in Fig.”
Three- and Four-Dimensional Variational Assimilation with a General Circulation Model of the Tropical Pacific Ocean. Part I: Formulation, Internal Diagnostics, and Consistency Checks (2003, methodology): “The basic configuration of the model is described in Vialard et al (2001).”
Mechanisms for ENSO Phase Change in a Coupled GCM (2003, methodology): “This model has been extensively validated in an uncoupled mode in the Tropics where its close agreement with observations was shown by Vialard et al. (2001).”
Evolution of the 2002/03 El Niño* (2003, background): “…upwelling Kelvin waves, and contraction of the western Pacific warm pool by anomalously strong westward currents There is considerable debate over which of these processes is most important during the demise of El Nino events (e.g., Vialard et al. 2001; Picaut et al. 2002; Boulanger et al. 2003).”
Incorporating State-Dependent Temperature–Salinity Constraints in the Background Error Covariance of Variational Ocean Data Assimilation (2005, unknown): “More details about this configuration of the model can be found in Vialard et al. (2001).”
On the representation of high latitude processes in the ORCA-LIM global coupled sea ice–ocean model (2005, background): “OPA in uncoupled mode has been extensively validated in a regional domain in the tropics ( Vialard et al., 2001 ).”
