Decay of Stable Warm-Core Eddies in a Layered Frontal Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Aspects of the decay of stable frontal warm-core eddies in the deep ocean are investigated using a new numerical layered ?frontal? model that solves the nonlinear, reduced-gravity, shallow-water equations for a horizontally ...
Analytical Solutions for Circular Eddies of the Reduced-Gravity, Shallow-Water Equations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: New analytical, circular eddy solutions of the nonlinear, reduced-gravity, shallow-water equations in a rotating system are presented. While previous analytical solutions were limited to the description of pulsons, which ...
The Rhine Outflow Plume Studied by the Analysis of Synthetic Aperture Radar Data and Numerical Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The dynamics of the Rhine outflow plume in the proximity of the river mouth is investigated by using remote sensing data and numerical simulations. The remote sensing data consist of 41 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images ...
On Shipboard Marine X-Band Radar Near-Surface Current ‘‘Calibration’’
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he ocean wave signatures within conventional noncoherent marine X-band radar (MR) image sequences can be used to derive near-surface current information. On ships, an accurate near-real-time record of the near-surface ...
Inversion of Marine Radar Images for Surface Wave Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method to estimate sea surface elevation maps from marine radar image sequences is presented. This method is the extension of an existing inverse modeling technique to derive wave spectra from marine radar images, which ...
