How Glacial Forebulges Shape the Seas and Shake the Earth - Eos

Reposted by Reviews of Geophysics

AGU (American Geophysical Union) @agu.org · 14d

A “glacial forebulge” is a long hill that forms in front of an ice sheet.🧊

In @eos.org, the authors of a recent review article give an overview of glacial forebulges, how scientists study them, and what questions remain.

A glacial forebulge is a bending-related upheaval of the lithosphere that has a strong effect on the sea level change pattern and on lithospheric stresses, which can induce intraplate earthquakes.

Reviews of Geophysics: The El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) Recharge Oscillator Conceptual Model: Achievements and Future Prospects doi.org/10.1029/2024...
@agu.org #AGUPubs #climate #ClimateChange @climate.noaa.gov

The tropical Pacific mean state. Sketch of the equatorial Pacific “normal” state, over which anomalies associated with ENSO develop. The shading indicates the climatological Sea Surface Temperature (SST) and temperature vertical structure along the equator (ORAS5 data, Zuo et al., 2019; 1958–2020 September–November average). Trade winds are the surface branch of the equatorial plane atmospheric circulation cell known as the Walker cell, and energized by SST contrasts between the eastern Pacific (cold tongue) and western Pacific (Warm pool). The easterly trade winds in return drive upwelling and the cold tongue in the east. The positive feedback loop between the equatorial SST and trade winds is known as the Bjerknes feedback. The dashed lines delineate the western and central Pacific (5°N–5°S, 120°E−150°W) and Niño3 (5°N–5°S, 150°–90°W) averaging regions that are usually used for defining the equatorial Pacific heat content h and surface temperature T variables used in the recharge oscillator, although some other choices (such as the average heat content in the entire equatorial Pacific or the 5°N–5°S, 170°–120°W Niño3.4 region) are sometimes made. The approximate locations for the western Pacific Warm Pool, Eastern equatorial Pacific Cold Tongue and upwelling, region where Tropical Instability Waves (TIWs) occur, thermocline (here the 20°C isotherm), South Equatorial Current (SEC) and Equatorial Undercurrent (EUC) are marked on the Figure.
