Abstract: The parameterization of the turbulence used in one-dimensional oceanic mixed layer models is briefly reviewed, focusing on the long-term response of these models. Particular attention is directed towards the parameterization ...

Abstract: A dynamical model representing linear barotropic Rossby waves is combined with GEOSAT data from the northwest Atlantic Ocean. The model is too simple to be very realistic in this complex area, but the problem of combining ...

Abstract: This article looks at the problem of optimizing spatiotemporal sampling of the ocean circulation using single- or twin-satellite missions. A review of the basic orbital constraints is first presented and this, together ...

Abstract: A fully nonparametric (NP) version of the sea state bias (SSB) estimation problem in radar altimetry was first presented and solved by Gaspar and Florens (GF) using the statistical technique of kernel smoothing. This ...
