Storm-Generated Surface Waves and Sediment Resuspension in the East China and Yellow Seas
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Surface winds derived from atmospheric pressure fields are used as input to a finite-depth wind-wave model to predict the sea state during a cold air frontal passage over the Yellow and East China Seas, which occurred 15?18 ...
Bottom Stress Estimates and their Prediction on the Northern California Continental Shelf during CODE-1: The Importance of Wave-Current Interaction
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: High quality near-bottom boundary layer measurements obtained at a midshelf location (90 m water depth) in the CODE region off Northern California are described. Bottom tripod velocity measurements and supporting data ...
Measurement of Turbulence in the Oceanic Bottom Boundary layer with an Acoustic Current Meter Array
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A vertical array of acoustic current meters measures the vector flow field in the lowest 5 m of the oceanic boundary layer. By resolving the velocity to 0.03 cm s?1 over 15 cm paths, it samples the dominant turbulent eddies ...
