Abstract: ABSTRACTHigh-frequency (HF) radars remotely measure ocean near-surface currents based on the Doppler shift of electromagnetic waves backscattered by surface gravity waves with half the electromagnetic wavelength, called ...

Abstract: quasigeostrophic model is developed to diagnose the three-dimensional circulation, including the vertical velocity, in the upper ocean from high-resolution observations of sea surface height and buoyancy. The formulation ...

Abstract: he short answer to the question posed in the title is that it depends on the frame of reference chosen to describe the motions. In the inertial limit, the frequency in a rotating frame of reference corresponds to the ...

Abstract: igh-frequency radars (HFRs) measure ocean surface currents remotely through the Bragg scattering of radio waves by surface gravity waves with wavelengths shorter than 50 m. HFR range is affected by sea ice, which dampens ...

Abstract: AbstractA 1.6-yr time series of radial current velocity from a 25-MHz high-frequency radar system located near a coastal river plume is analyzed to determine how the working range varies in response to changing near-surface ...

Abstract: The evolution of a submesoscale anticyclonic vortex was observed by high-frequency Doppler radio current meters and satellite radiometers. The vortex formed between two large cyclones to the southwest of Oahu, Hawaii. The ...

Abstract: AbstractHigh-frequency Doppler radar (HFDR) and acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) time-series observations during the Philippine Straits Dynamics Experiment (PhilEx) were analyzed to describe the mesoscale currents ...

Abstract: Short-wavelength (L ? 100 km) Rossby waves with an eastward zonal phase velocity were observed by high-frequency radio Doppler current meters and moored ADCPs west of Oahu, Hawaii, during spring 2003. They had Rossby numbers ...
