Gas Bubbles as Oceanographic Tracers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Air bubbles can be used as oceanographic tracers that indicate the strength of a downwelling current by which they are subducted. In a tidal front in the Fraser Estuary, British Columbia, Canada, vertical currents of up ...
Sea Level Variations in the Western Mediterranean Studied by a Numerical Tidal Model of the Strait of Gibraltar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Aspects of the sea level changes in the western Mediterranean Sea are investigated using a numerical tidal model of the Strait of Gibraltar. As a prerequisite, the performance of this model, that is, a two-dimensional, ...
The Submesoscale Kinetic Energy Cascade: Mesoscale Absorption of Submesoscale Mixed Layer Eddies and Frontal Downscale Fluxes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Mesoscale eddies can be strengthened by the absorption of submesoscale eddies resulting from mixed layer baroclinic instabilities. This is shown for mesoscale eddies in the Agulhas Current system by investigating the kinetic ...
