A Method for Processing Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler Velocity Data from Towed, Undulating Vehicles
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The utility of the acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) for sampling small time and space scales of coastal environments can be enhanced by mounting a high-frequency (1200 kHz) ADCP on an oscillating towed body. This ...
An Analysis of Secular Change in Tides at Open-Ocean Sites in the Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ourly sea level is examined at 25 open-ocean stations in the Pacific Ocean with records longer than 30 yr. A search for trends finds that the amplitude of the dominant semidiurnal tide M2 is increasing at 12 of the 13 sites ...
Multimodal Internal Waves Generated over a Subcritical Ridge: Impact of the Upper-Ocean Stratification
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: nteraction of barotropic tides with subsurface topography is vital to ocean mixing. Yet the behavior of large-amplitude, nonlinear, internal solitary waves (ISWs) that can cause strong mixing remains poorly understood, ...
Adaptation of Classical Tidal Harmonic Analysis to Nonstationary Tides, with Application to River Tides
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ne of the most challenging areas in tidal analysis is the study of nonstationary signals with a tidal component, as they confront both current analysis methods and dynamical understanding. A new analysis tool has been ...
Seasonality of Tides in Southeast Asian Waters
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractAn analysis of water level time series from 20 tide gauges in Southeast Asia finds that diurnal and semidiurnal astronomical tides exhibit strong seasonal variability of both amplitude and phase, which is not caused ...
