Observations of Long Nonlinear Internal Waves in a Lake
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper describes observations of large-amplitude, long internal waves in Babine Lake. A unique feature of the observations is that they were taken simultaneously at several different points along the major axis. This ...
An Estimate of Line Width and Pressure from the High Resolution Spectrum of Jupiter at 11,000 Å
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A preliminary analysis of high resolution image tube spectra of Jupiter in the region of the R branch of the 3?3 band of methane is reported. The results indicate, for a simple reflecting layer model, that the effective ...
Patterns of Bubble Clouds organized by Langmuir Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A commonly observed property of near-surface bubble distributions is their collective organization into long rows aligned with the wind under the influence of Langmuir circulation. Time series observations with sonars ...
The Influence of Wind on the Surface Layer of a Stratified Inlet: Part II. Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Analysis of the wind and current data for Alberni Inlet demonstrates the strongly wind-dependent nature of the surface currents, especially at the diurnal frequency. In contrast, the response of the surface layer thickness ...
Performance of Chain Trenchers in Mixed Ground
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Chain trenchers were used to cut moderately strong sandstone bedrock, compressive strength 6–9,000 psi (41–62 MN/m
Gas Bubbles as Oceanographic Tracers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Air bubbles can be used as oceanographic tracers that indicate the strength of a downwelling current by which they are subducted. In a tidal front in the Fraser Estuary, British Columbia, Canada, vertical currents of up ...
Wind Mixing and Restratification in a Lake near the Temperature of Maximum Density
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The cooling of a freshwater take provides an opportunity for studying wind mixing and restratification under the peculiar conditions associated with a density maximum. The concepts are explored using a mixing-layer model ...
A Signal-processing Scheme for Passive Acoustical Mapping of Breaking Surface Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An acoustical system is described with emphasis on its signal-processing scheme. The system consists of a small broadband hydrophone array of span 8.5 m and 5-kHz bandwidth, which is able to track individual breaking surface ...
The Measurement of Bubble-Size Distributions by Acoustical Backscatter
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A multifrequency acoustical-backscatter technique is described for determining the size distribution of bubbles with radii between 8 and 130 µm. The method makes use of the resonance in the microbubbles and operates at six ...
Acoustical Measurement of Current and Vorticity beneath Ice
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An acoustical instrument has been developed to measure path-averaged horizontal current and vorticity in the subice boundary layer of the eastern Arctic during the spring of 1989. A triangular acoustic array of side 200 m ...
