Richardson Number Profiles over the Continental Shelf
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The seasonal mid-water thermocline over the continental shelf has been examined with the aid of an oceanographic Richardson Number Probe. The overall Richardson number of this stable layer was found to be 0.9 but within ...
Relative Diffusion as Related to Quasi-Periodic Current Structures
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Experiments were performed in Lake Huron in which the relative diffusion of a dye plume and the lateral component of turbulent velocity were measured simultaneously. The standard deviation of the plume width varied in the ...
Richardson Number Statistics in the Seasonal Thermocline
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Statistics of Richardson number in the seasonal thermocline are determined for a simple model and from experiments over the continental shelf. The model consists of normally distributed and uncorrelated density gradient ...
The Response of Wind-Wave Spectra to Changing Winds. Part I: Increasing Winds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Continuous time series of wind profiles and wind waves under growing conditions, recorded at Shirahama Oceanographic Tower Station and discussed by Kawai, Okada and Toba, have been reanalysed for this study of the response ...
Wave Dependence of Sea-Surface Wind Stress
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Distribution of the wind stress over the oceans is usually estimated by using a bulk formula. It contains the squared 10-m wind speed multiplied by the drag coefficient, which has been assumed in many cases to be a weak ...
