The Annual Evolution of Geostrophic Flow in the Gulf of Maine: 1986–1987
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The annual evolution of the geostrophic flow structure in the Gulf of Maine was studied with a combined set of moored pressure time-series measurements and five hydrographic surveys from August 1986 through September 1987. ...
A Statistical Description of Temperature Finestructure in the Presence of Internal Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We have developed a statistical model describing a random field of internal waves passively oscillating a random, locally horizontally uniform temperature finestructure. Here we define finestructure to be non-internal ...
Electronic Digitization and Sensor Response Effects on Salinity Computation from CTD Field Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Spikes are often observed in salinity profiles computed from measurements of conductivity, temperature and pressure. Many of these spikes are not real and are the result of a mismatch in the response functions of the ...
The Use of Microprocessor Technology for the Conditional Sampling of Intermittent Ocean Processes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Geophysical signals are often intermittent, having statistics which vary with time. Optimal sampling of these signals requires a so-called ?conditional sampling? scheme, a technique which changes the sampling program to ...
The Nantucket Shoals Flux Experiment (NSFE79). Part II: The Structure and Variability of Across-Shelf Pressure Gradients
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Nantucket Shoals Flux Experiment (NSFE) was a collaborative effort to measure the alongshelf transport of mass, heat, salt and nutrients from March 1979 through April 1980 with a dense army consisting of moored current, ...
