RISLaboratory Realizations of Stratified Seamount-trapped Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The response of a uniformly rotating, uniformly stratified fluid surrounding an axisymmetric Gaussian seamount to barotropic, rectilinear tidal forcing at a range of subinertial frequencies is examined in a rotating table ...
A Marine Autonomous Surface Craft for Long-Duration, Spatially Explicit, Multidisciplinary Water Column Sampling in Coastal and Estuarine Systems
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Surveying Coastal Ocean Autonomous Profiler (SCOAP) is a large catamaran marine autonomous surface craft (MASC) for unattended weeks-long, spatially explicit, multidisciplinary oceanographic water column profile sampling ...
Interplay of Wind Forcing and Buoyant Discharge off Montauk Point: Seasonal Changes to Velocity Structure and a Coastal Front
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Seasonal-mean currents in fall, winter, and spring on the bathymetrically complex continental shelf 15?65 m deep off Montauk Point, outside Block Island Sound, are analyzed using moored profiling current-meter records from ...
Effects of Geographic Variation in Vertical Mode Structure on the Sea Surface Topography, Energy, and Wind Forcing of Baroclinic Rossby Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Interpretation of sea surface height anomaly (SSHA) and wind forcing of first baroclinic mode Rossby waves is considered using linear inviscid long-wave dynamics for both the standard and surface-intensified vertical mode ...
Response of a Large Stratified Estuary to Wind Events: Observations, Simulations, and Theory for Long Island Sound
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he response to wind events in the Long Island Sound (LIS), a large macrotidal estuary influenced by rotation and stratification, is studied using long-term ferry-based current observations near the mouth, unstratified and ...
Networked Acoustic Modems for Real-Time Data Delivery from Distributed Subsurface Instruments in the Coastal Ocean: Initial System Development and Performance
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Results are reported from field tests of networked acoustic modems used for wireless real-time delivery of oceanographic measurements from a distributed array of subsurface instruments in coastal waters. The network ...
Subtidal Exchange in Eastern Long Island Sound
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ong Island Sound (LIS) is a large and wide macrotidal estuary with distributed river inputs, including the Connecticut River (the largest freshwater source) that flows into the eastern LIS near the mouth. In 2010, shipboard ...
Networked Acoustic Modems for Real-Time Data Telemetry from Distributed Subsurface Instruments in the Coastal Ocean: Application to Array of Bottom-Mounted ADCPs
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Through the winter and spring of 2002, networked acoustic modems demonstrated real-time wireless data telemetry from an array of bottom-mounted acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs) on the inner continental shelf 20?60 ...
Tidal Cycles in Stratification and Shear and Their Relationship to Gradient Richardson Number and Eddy Viscosity Variations in Estuaries
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: idal cycles in stratification and shear lead to tidal variations in mixing in many estuaries. This study 1) defines readily observable dimensionless parameters for establishing the sense and magnitude of gradient Richardson ...
