Abstract: The Osborn-Cox model is a simplified tracer variance budget that is a basis for direct estimates of the diapycnal Kv. diffusivity When used to interpret temperature variance dissipation measurements, it indicates Kv to be ...

Abstract: The relationships between sea surface temperature (SST) and sea level pressure (SLP) anomalies over the North Pacific are examined using seasonally stratified statistics. These indicate that autumn and winter SLP anomalies ...

Abstract: Recently it has been argued that in many regions of the ocean the Osborn?Cox model accurately determines the total long-term diapycnal flux of a tracer ? if the mean gradient and dissipation in the model are long-time ...

Abstract: As part of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment, 306 autonomous floats were deployed in the tropical and South Pacific Ocean and 228 were deployed in the Indian Ocean to observe the basinwide circulation near 900-m depth. ...

Abstract: Nonseasonal variability of sea level pressure (SLP) and sea surface temperature (SST) in the mid-latitude North Pacific Ocean is examined. The objective is examination of the basic scales of the variability and determination ...

Abstract: Upper-ocean dynamics analyzed from mooring-array observations are contrasted between two storms of comparable magnitude. Particular emphasis is put on the role of the transition layer, the strongly stratified layer between ...

Abstract: eutral-buoyancy vehicles demand high density energy sources and lithium is light with high oxidation energy. PolyPlus Battery Company has developed a prototype lithium-seawater battery that is attractive for powering ...

Abstract: A new autonomous instrument collected 76 profiles of temperature microstructure over a ten-day period in the eastern subtropical North Atlantic as part of the North Atlantic Tracer Release Experiment. The data between 200-m ...

Abstract: A unified theory of frontogenesis in mixed layers is proposed. Analytical solutions of the nonlinear mass and density balances in a mixed layer are found in the Lagrangian frame for a wide class of entrainment parameterizations. ...

Abstract: Linear statistical estimators are used to examine 29 years of nonseasonal, monthly-mean, tide-gauge sea-level data along the west coast of North America. The objective is exploration of the structure, and causes of nearshore ...
