RISObservations of the Effect of Rain Temperature on the Surface Heat Flux in the Intertropical Convergence Zone
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The thermohaline response of the ocean to a short (10 h) but intense (95 mm) nighttime rainfall event was observed during a transit through the ITCZ. Two CTD profiles and shipboard measurements of air?sea fluxes were ...
Amplitude and Horizontal Structure of a Large Diurnal Sea Surface Warming Event during the Coastal Ocean Dynamics Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Intense diurnal warming of the ocean surface was observed in April 1982 off California, using a combination of mooring, hydrographic, and satellite infrared and satellite pigment measurements. The event corresponded to a ...
The Surface Expression of Semidiurnal Internal Tides near a Strong Source at Hawaii. Part II: Interactions with Mesoscale Currents
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations of semidiurnal surface currents in the Kauai Channel, Hawaii, are interpreted in the light of the interaction of internal tides with energetic surface-intensified mesoscale currents. The impacts on internal ...
High-Frequency Radars: Beamforming Calibrations Using Ships as Reflectors
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: inear array antennas and beamforming techniques offer some advantages compared to direction finding using squared arrays. The azimuthal resolution depends on the number of antenna elements and their spacing. Assuming an ...
The Surface Expression of Semidiurnal Internal Tides near a Strong Source at Hawaii. Part I: Observations and Numerical Predictions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations of semidiurnal currents from high-frequency radio Doppler current meters and moored acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs) in the Kauai Channel, Hawaii, are described and compared with two primitive equation ...
Response Characteristics of Two Oxygen Sensors for Oceanic CTDs
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Response characteristics of a microhole potentiostatic oxygen sensor and a Beckman membrane oxygen sensor were measured in a laboratory over temperatures ranging from 1° to 21°C. The response term τ of the microhole sensor ...
