RISIntense Currents in the Deep Northeast Pacific Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations of deep currents in the northeast Pacific Ocean are reported that indicate that although the eddy kinetic energy level is, as expected, generally low, the deep northeast Pacific is subject to occasional intensely ...
Diurnal Coastal-Trapped Waves on the East Australian Continental Shelf
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Data obtained during the Australian Coastal Experiment, previously used to verify the dispersion relation for coastal-trapped waves at low frequencies, are analyzed at frequencies in the diurnal tidal band. It is shown ...
Observations and Modeling of Wind-driven Currents in the Northeast Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Velocity measurements from the interior of the Alaskan gyre are presented from a current meter mooring deployed in 4000 m of water at 49°33?N, 138°38?W, in the vicinity of Ocean Weather Station P. The mooring held five ...
The Energy Source for the Coastal-Trapped Waves in the Australian Coastal Experiment Region
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The sea level on the southern Australian coast is examined for the source of the coastal-trapped wave energy observed during the Australian Coastal Experiment. Sea level, adjusted for atmospheric pressure, and atmospheric ...
Coastal-Trapped Waves on the East Australian Continental Shelf Part I: Propagation of Modes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The currents observed over the shelf and slope during the Australian Coastal Experiment (ACE) are used to determine the amplitudes (as functions of time) of the first three coastal-trapped wave (CTW) modes at three locations ...
A Comparison of Low-Frequency Current Observations off British Columbia with Coastal-Trapped Wave Theory
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Six current-meter mooring were deployed in a line approximately 600 km in length along the continental shelf of British Columbia. Analysis of the low frequency (periods exceeding a day) fluctuations in current for the ...
Anticyclonic Eddies in the Alaskan Stream
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Anticyclonic eddies propagating southwestward in the Alaskan Stream (AS) were investigated through analysis of altimetry data from satellite observations during 1992?2006 and hydrographic data from profiling float observations ...
Coastal-Trapped Waves on the East Australian Continental Shelf Part II: Model Verification
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Australian Coastal Experiment (ACE) was designed to test coastal-trapped wave (CTW) theory and the generation of coastal-trapped waves by the wind. For the ACE dataset, we use CTW theory to attempt to hindcast the ...
An Analysis of the Low-Frequency Current Fluctuations in the Strait of Georgia, from June 1984 until January 1985
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A description of the low-frequency (ap;10 to 30 days period) current fluctuations in the Strait of Georgia is presented. Velocity time series from four cyclesonde moorings and five current meter mooring, spanning the time ...
