Abstract

This paper describes the evolution of the Global Tropical Moored Buoy Array (GTMBA) over the past decade since the last comprehensive and coordinated overview of the Pacific-Atlantic-Indian Ocean system in 2010. GTMBA provides sustained and systematic observations in real time for weather and climate research, forecasting, and assessments. It is maintained through multi-national consortia that support the Tropical Atmosphere Ocean (TAO) Array and the Triangle Trans-Ocean Buoy Network (TRITON) in the Pacific, the Prediction and Research Moored Array in the Tropical Atlantic (PIRATA), and the Research Moored Array for African-Asian-Australian Monsoon Analysis and Prediction (RAMA) in the Indian Ocean. Phenomena of interest span a wide range of weather and climate timescales, including tropical cyclones, the Madden-Julian Oscillation, the seasonal cycle, monsoon circulations, El Niño-Southern Oscillation, climate variations on decadal timescales, and trends related to climate change. Recent scientific advances enabled by GTMBA are reviewed along with array design changes that respond to new scientific imperatives and operational exigencies, and future directions are discussed.

热带海洋天气和气候观测:全球热带系泊浮标阵列的年代际概况

本文介绍了全球热带系泊浮标阵列(GTMBA)自2010年对太平洋-大西洋-印度洋系统进行全面协调概述以来，近十年来的演变情况。GTMBA为天气和气候研究、预报和评估提供持续和系统的实时观测。它是由多国联盟维持的，这些联盟支持太平洋的热带大气海洋(TAO)阵列和三角跨洋浮标网(TRITON)，热带大西洋的预测和研究系泊阵列(PIRATA)和印度洋的非洲-亚洲-澳大利亚季风分析和预测研究系泊阵列(RAMA)。感兴趣的现象跨越了广泛的天气和气候时间尺度，包括热带气旋、麦登-朱利安涛动、季节周期、季风环流、El Niño-Southern涛动、年代际时间尺度上的气候变化以及与气候变化有关的趋势。回顾了最近由GTMBA实现的科学进展以及响应新的科学要求和操作紧急情况的阵列设计变化，并讨论了未来的方向。

期刊介绍： First published in July 1988, Oceanography is the official magazine of The Oceanography Society. It contains peer-reviewed articles that chronicle all aspects of ocean science and its applications. In addition, Oceanography solicits and publishes news and information, meeting reports, hands-on laboratory exercises, career profiles, book reviews, and shorter, editor-reviewed articles that address public policy and education and how they are affected by science and technology. We encourage submission of short papers to the Breaking Waves section that describe novel approaches to multidisciplinary problems in ocean science.
