Spatial Variations of Stirring in the Surface Ocean: A Case Study of the Tasman Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Stirring in the Tasman Sea is examined using surface geostrophic currents derived from satellite altimeter measurements. Calculations of the distribution of finite-time Lyapunov exponents (FTLEs) indicate that the stirring ...
Observations of Small-Scale Processes Associated with the Internal Tide Encountering an Island
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Current-meter, temperature, and microstructure observations of the large-amplitude internal tide shoaling on the continental shelf of the east coast of northern New Zealand show the complexity of the internal kinematics ...
