Abstract: The climatological heat and salt budgets at OWS Papa are examined over the years 1960 to 1981. The average surface fluxes of heat and freshwater are estimated to be 25±15 W m?2 and 4.4±4.3 mg m?2 s?1, respectively. Year ...

Abstract: Measurements of the momentum flux were made by the Reynolds flux and dissipation methods on a deep water stable tower operated by the Bedford Institute of Oceanography, A modified Gill propeller-vane anemometer was used ...

Abstract: This papar presents an extensive act of sensible heat (Reynolds flux and dissipation methods) and latent heat (dissipation method) flux measurements from a stable deep water tower and from ships on the deep sea. Operational ...

Abstract: The largest and potentially most important ocean near-surface biases are examined in the Community Climate System Model coupled simulation of present-day conditions. They are attributed to problems in the component models ...

Abstract: lobal satellite observations show the sea surface temperature (SST) increasing since the 1970s in all ocean basins, while the net air?sea heat flux Q decreases. Over the period 1984?2006 the global changes are 0.28°C in ...

Abstract: The DISSTRESS system for remote measurements of the surface wind stress over the ocean from ships and buoys is described. It is fully digital, utilizing the inertial dissipation technique. Parallel processing allows ...

Abstract: A one-dimensional model of upper-ocean vertical mixing is used to investigate the ocean's response to idealized atmospheric storms over short (1?2 day) timescales. Initial ocean conditions are based on observations from ...

Abstract: The values of sea surface stress determined with the dissipation method and those determined with a surface-layer model from observations on F.S. Meteor during the Joint Air-Sea Interaction (JASIN) Experiment are compared ...

Abstract: The Ocean Storms dataset is used to compile observations of the oceanic response to midlatitude storms. Of particular interest are episodic mixed layer temperature cooling events whose characteristics are reviewed. The ...

Abstract: The surface response of the Southern Hemisphere's oceans to the large spatial scale, interseasonal changes in wind forcing during the FGGE year of 1979 is investigated. The primary data are the analyzed daily wind fields, ...
