The ocean and the hydrological cycle

Tradewinds – Harvesting Water and Heat From the Ocean NOAA/OAR Ocean Reference Stations Donating to the warm pool

Precious Rains Hawaii’s tenuous water resources ∫(E-P)dt

WHOTS Rainfall and Evaporation Sean Whelan (WHOI) Rainfall – Has small space-time scales Not well-observed from space Poorly represented in NWP model-reanalyses

WHOTS and the hydrological cycle

Winter Storms Interact with ITCZ

WHOTS and the hydrological cycle How stable and reliable are the trends estimated from limited observations? Observations limited in duration and spatial extent; exponential rainfall distributions in space and time
