The role of the oceans in climate (2003, background): “Atmospheric general circulation model (GCM) results, forced with a dipole SST field, reinforced this hypothesis (Okumura et al., 2001) and suggested a link to the North Atlantic oscillation (NAO).”
Tropical rainfall, Rossby waves and regional winter climate predictions (2017, result): “Strong correlations occur with the Tropical Atlantic (TA) rainfall as seen in some other studies (Okumura et al., 2001; Manola et al., 2013).”
Deconstructing Atlantic Intertropical Convergence Zone variability: Influence of the local cross‐equatorial sea surface temperature gradient and remote forcing from the eastern equatorial Pacific (2002, background): “The anomalous cross-equatorial wind is assumed to influence the position of convection, and this causal linkage has been supported in subsequent observational [e.g., Ruiz-Barradas et al., 2000] and atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM) studies [e.g., Chang et al., 2000; Okumura et al., 2001].”
Air–sea interaction over ocean fronts and eddies (2008, background): “This is a somewhat surprising result considering that on larger, basin scales, the correlation is often negative (Liu et al., 1994; Mantua et al., 1997; Okumura et al., 2001) which is interpreted as evidence that the atmosphere is driving an ocean response.”
Bi-decadal variability excited in the coupled ocean–atmosphere system by strong tropical volcanic eruptions (2012, background): “Conversely, the simulated strong LH flux anomalies in the tropical and subtropical Atlantic do not resemble modes which are known to feedback on the NAO, such as the ‘‘Gulf Stream mode’’ (e.g., Wu and Gordon 2002) or the inter-hemispheric tropical SST dipole (e.g., Okumura et al. 2001 ).”
Importance of Resolving Kuroshio Front and Eddy Influence in Simulating the North Pacific Storm Track (2017, background): “passive air–sea coupling appears to prevail in most areas of midlatitudes (Mantua et al. 1997; Okumura et al. 2001; Xie 2004) with the exception of western boundary regimes, such as the Kuroshio and Gulf Stream, where atmosphere–ocean feedback can take an active form.”
Climate Fluctuations of Tropical Coupled Systems—The Role of Ocean Dynamics (2006, background): “- 27 the WES hypothesis by examining the response of the GCMs to SST forcing (Chang et al. 2000; Sutton et al. 2000; Okumura et al. 2001; Terray and Cassou 2002).”
Satellite Observations of Cool Ocean–Atmosphere Interaction (2004, methodology): “(right) C O A D S S S T (color in ° C ) and N C E P surface wind (m s _ l ) composites in Jan-Mar based on a cross-equatorial S ST gradient index (Okumura et al. 2001).”
