Abstract: A seasonal heat budget is based on observations that span the broad California Current (CC) region. Budget terms are estimated from satellite data (oceanic heat advection), repeat ship transects (heat storage rate), and ...

Abstract: During summer, significant changes in marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL) speed and depth occur over small spatial scales (<100 km) downstream from topographic features along the California coast. In June and July ...

Abstract: Barotropic tidal currents flowing over rough topography may be slowed by two bottom boundary?related processes: tangential stress of the bottom boundary layer, which is generally well represented by a quadratic drag law, ...

Abstract: Some of the highlights of an experiment designed to study coastal atmospheric phenomena along the California coast (Coastal Waves 1996 experiment) are described. This study was designed to address several problems, including ...
