Influence of the 26°N RAPID–MOCHA Array and Florida Current Cable Observations on the ECCO–GODAE State Estimate
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The incorporation of local temperature and salinity observations from the Rapid Climate Change?Meridional Overturning Circulation and Heatflux Array (RAPID?MOCHA), as well as the cable estimates of volume transport in the ...
As Predictable as the Tides
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The first live test is underway off Maine for a new technology that relies on strong tides and currents to power underwater generators. It took innovative engineering and precision execution to make the first test happen, ...
Effect of Northern Hemisphere Teleconnections on the Hydropower Production in Southern Sweden
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Approximately 50% of Sweden’s electricity is produced by hydropower. This makes energy production in the country vulnerable to factors affecting water availability. Research has shown a positive correlation between the ...
Transformation of a Mismatched Nonlinear Dynamic System into Strict Feedback Form
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Dynamic surface control is a robust nonlinear control technique. It is generally applied to mismatched dynamic systems in strict feedback form. We have developed a new method of defining states ...
Interpreting Fixed-Location Observations of Turbulence Advected by Waves: Insights from Spectral Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ssigning a physical interpretation to turbulent fluctuations beneath waves is complex because eddies are advected by unsteady wave orbital motion. Here, the kinematic effects of wave orbital motion on turbulent fluctuations ...
Analysis of Bottom-Track and Compass Error in a Self-Contained Acoustic Doppler Diver Navigation Console
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Cobra-Tac (Teledyne RD Instruments) is a self-contained diver navigation system based on acoustic Doppler velocity log (DVL) technology that uses dead reckoning to compute displacements from a known starting point. The ...
Potential Predictability of the North Atlantic Heat Transport Based on an Oceanic State Estimate
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his paper investigates the potential predictability of the meridional heat transport (MHT) in the North Atlantic on interannual time scales using hindcast ensembles based on an oceanic data assimilation product. The work ...
A Comparison of Methods for Estimating Reynolds Stress from ADCP Measurements in Wavy Environments
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: urbulent Reynolds stresses are now routinely estimated from acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) measurements in estuaries and tidal channels using the variance method, yet biases due to surface gravity waves limit its ...
Weighted Verification Tools to Evaluate Univariate and Multivariate Probabilistic Forecasts for High-Impact Weather Events
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
A Synoptic Classification of Inflow-Generating Precipitation in the Snowy Mountains, Australia
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: recipitation falling in the Snowy Mountains region of southeastern Australia provides fuel for hydroelectric power generation and environmental flows along major river systems, as well as critical water resources for ...
