• Satellite Salinity Observing System: Recent Discoveries and the Way Forward (2019, background): “…instability waves play an important role in ocean mixing, cross-equatorial transport, climate variability, and biochemistry, and have been studied extensively using various satellite and in situ observations since they were discovered in the late 1970s (e.g., Legeckis, 1977; Chelton et al., 2000).”
• Aquarius reveals salinity structure of tropical instability waves (2012, background): “TIWs are stronger to the north of the equatorial cold tongues in the Pacific and Atlantic in association with stronger shear in the northern edge of the cold tongues.”
• Numerical Simulation of Hurricane Bonnie (1998). Part II: Sensitivity to Varying Cloud Microphysical Processes (2006, methodology): “The sea surface temperature (SST) is updated daily using the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Microwave Imager (TMI) Level 1 (IB11) standard product (Chelton et al. 2000).”
• The Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for the Earth Observing System (AMSR-E), NASDA's contribution to the EOS for global energy and water cycle studies (2003, background): “For instance, microwave SST retrievals are generally unaffected by clouds and so provide an uninterrupted record of SST signatures (e.g., [9] and [ 10 ]).”
• The Oceanic Eddy Heat Transport (2002, background): “Along the equator the rotational component is weak, but there is a convergent eddy heat transport that comes from tropical instability waves with periods from 20‐ 50 days, in agreement with results from current meter observations (Bryden and Brady 1989), mixed layer drifters (Hansen and Paul 1984; B”
• Interannual Variations of the Tropical Ocean Instability Wave and ENSO (2008, background): “Its cusplike surface structure is easily defined in satellite pictures of sea surface temperatures (SST; Chelton et al. 2000).”
• Local and remote atmospheric response to tropical instability waves: A global view from space (2001, unknown): “, 2000; Chelton et al., 2000a]. Exceptionally strong TIWs and this suite of new satellites that observed these waves make the year of 1999 an unprecedented opportunity to study the coupled aspect of TIWs. Using QuikSCAT and TMI data, Liu et al. [2000] examined the phase difference between SST and wi”
