RISIrradiance Measurements in the Upper Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations were made of downward solar radiation as a function of depth during an experiment in the North Pacific (35°N, 155°W). The irradiance meter employed was sensitive to solar radiation of wavelength 400?1000 nm ...
Small-Scale Sea Surface Temperature Structure
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations of sea surface temperature and wave height were made from a large, manned spar buoy (R/P FLIP) ?100 km off the coast of Baja California. Surface temperature was measured with a radiation thermometer which ...
Observations of Upper Ocean Temperature and Salinity Structure During the POLE Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Mid-ocean observations (35°N, 155°W) of temperature and salinity were made from R/P Flip during the period 28 January-14 February 1974 as part of the NORPAX POLE Experiment. Autocorrelations for the time series of depth ...
Internal Waves in the Arctic Ocean: Comparison with Lower-Latitude Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A thermistor chain was moored below the pack ice from 50?150 m in the Arctic Ocean for five days in 1981. Oscillations in temperature are attributed to the vertical dispalcement of internal waves. The spectral shape of ...
The Structure of Near-Inertial Waves during Ocean Storms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Current meter data from two sites were analyzed for near-inertial motions generated by storm during the ten-month period of the Ocean Storms Experiment in the northeast Pacific Ocean. The most striking feature of the ...
Upper-Ocean Inertial Currents Forced by a Strong Storm. Part I: Data and Comparisons with Linear Theory
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A strong, isolated October storm generated 0.35?0.7 m s?1 inertia] frequency currents in the 40-m deep mixed layer of a 300 km?300 km region of the northeast Pacific Ocean. The authors describe the evolution of these ...
Impact of Resolution on the Tropical Pacific Circulation in a Matrix of Coupled Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Results are presented from a matrix of coupled model integrations, using atmosphere resolutions of 135 and 90 km, and ocean resolutions of 1° and 1/3°, to study the impact of resolution on simulated climate. The mean state ...
U.K. HiGEM: The New U.K. High-Resolution Global Environment Model—Model Description and Basic Evaluation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This article describes the development and evaluation of the U.K.?s new High-Resolution Global Environmental Model (HiGEM), which is based on the latest climate configuration of the Met Office Unified Model, known as the ...
Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A summary is presented of the Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean (SHEBA) project, with a focus on the field experiment that was conducted from October 1997 to October 1998. The primary objective of the field work was ...
