Experimental Closure of the Heat and Mass Transfer Theory of Spheroidal Hailstones
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Hailstone growth experiments were performed in a vertical icing wind tunnel using 2-cm oblate ice spheroids (axis ratio of 0.67) mounted on a gyrator system. The liquid water content ranged from 1 to 5 g m?3, air temperature ...
An Intercomparison of Acoustic Current Meter Measurements in Low to Moderate Flow Regions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: nstrumented, subsurface moorings deployed in the Scotian shelf and slope regions of the North Atlantic provide data in low to moderate flows for a current meter intercomparison. The primary instruments being evaluated are ...
Estimates of Dissipation in the Ocean Mixed Layer Using a Quasi-Horizontal Microstructure Profiler
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Some recent measurements of the mixed layer in oceans and lakes have indicated that the rate of the dissipation of turbulent kinetic energy, ε, is much higher than expected from a purely shear-driven wall layer. This ...
Stirring by Small-Scale Vortices Caused by Patchy Mixing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Evidence is presented that lateral dispersion on scales of 1?10 km in the stratified waters of the continental shelf may be significantly enhanced by stirring by small-scale geostrophic motions caused by patches of mixed ...
Overturning in the Subpolar North Atlantic Program: A New International Ocean Observing System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: or decades oceanographers have understood the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) to be primarily driven by changes in the production of deep-water formation in the subpolar and subarctic North Atlantic. ...
