The Dynamics of a Partially Mixed Estuary
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Measurements of velocity, density, and pressure gradient in the lower Hudson River estuary were used to quantify the dominant terms in the momentum equation and to characterize their variations at tidal and spring?neap ...
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 ...
Extracting Multiyear Surface Currents from Sequential Thermal Imagery Using the Maximum Cross-Correlation Technique
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Ocean surface circulation can be estimated by automated tracking of thermal infrared features in pairs of sequential satellite imagery. A 7-yr time series of velocity, extracted from thermal imagery of the East Australian ...
