Observations and EOF Analysis of Low-Frequency Variability in the Western Part of the Gulf Stream Recirculation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study of low-frequency oceanic variability is based on data collected during the Long Term Upper Ocean Study (LOTUS), which was a two year program of (mainly) moored meteorological and oceanographic measurements. The ...
Tests of Long-Range Ocean Data Telemetry Using Frequency-Agile HF Packet-switching Protocols
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Experiences with two prototype telemetry systems developed for potential use with moored or drifting ocean instruments are described. The systems transfer data and commands between remote and base stations using direct ...
Distinguishing Propagating Waves and Standing Modes: An Internal Wave Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper examines high-frequency (0.1-0.5 cph) internal waves, waves previously characterized by the Garrett and Munk spectral fits (GM72, GM75, GM79) as being vertically symmetric propagating waves (or equivalently ...
Vertical Coherence of the Internal Wave Field from Towed Sensors
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Constant depth and isopycnal?following tows are used to estimate the, towed vertical coherence of the internal wave field, at vertical separations of 8.5, 18, 28 and 70 m. The depths of the tows are ?750 m at the maximum ...
Large Diurnal Sea Surface Temperature Variability: Satellite and In Situ Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Data from a surface mooring located in the Sargasso Sea at 34°N, 70°W between May 1982 and May 1984 were compared with satellite data to investigate large diurnal sea surface temperature changes. Mooring and satellite ...
