A Combined Stokes Drift Profile under Swell and Wind Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A combined directional Stokes drift profile for swell and wind sea is presented. The profile can be used to calculate the shear under crossing seas and as such is relevant for Langmuir turbulence and Stokes–Coriolis forcing, ...
Stokes Drift in Internal Equatorial Kelvin Waves: Continuous Stratification versus Two-Layer Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Stokes drift in long internal equatorial Kelvin waves is investigated theoretically for an inviscid fluid of constant depth. While the Stokes drift in irrotational waves is positive everywhere in the fluid, that is, ...
Enhanced Turbulence Associated with the Diurnal Jet in the Ocean Surface Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: etailed observations of the diurnal jet, a surface intensification of the wind-driven current associated with the diurnal cycle of sea surface temperature (SST), were obtained during August and September 2012 in the ...
Evaluating the leeway coefficient of ocean drifters using operational marine environmental prediction systems
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The water following characteristics of six different drifter types are investigated using two different operational marine environmental prediction systems: one produced by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) and ...
