RISIncreased Aerodynamic Roughness Owing to Surfzone Foam
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractDrag coefficients Cd obtained through direct eddy covariance estimates of the wind stress were observed at four different sandy beaches with dissipative surfzones along the coastline of Monterey Bay, California. ...
Low-Frequency Seiche in a Large Bay
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: hort-term observations of sea surface elevations ? along the 10-m isobath and long-term observations inside and outside of a large bay (Monterey Bay, CA) were obtained to describe the nodal structure of the modes 0?3 seiches ...
Field Observations and Modeling of Surfzone Sensible Heat Flux
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractSurfzone sensible heat flux (HS,SZ) obtained through direct eddy-covariance estimates was measured at four different sandy beach sites along Monterey Bay, California. The HS,SZ source region is estimated from a ...
Field Observations of Surf Zone–Inner Shelf Exchange on a Rip-Channeled Beach
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ross-shore exchange between the surf zone and the inner shelf is investigated using Lagrangian and Eulerian field measurements of rip current flows on a rip-channeled beach in Sand City, California. Surface drifters released ...
Bathymetry Estimation Using Drifter-Based Velocity Measurements on the Kootenai River, Idaho
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: elocity measurements from drifter GPS records are used in an ensemble-based data assimilation technique to extract the river bathymetry. The method is tested on a deep meandering reach and a shallow braided reach of the ...
Divergence-Free Spatial Velocity Flow Field Interpolator for Improving Measurements from ADCP-Equipped Small Unmanned Underwater Vehicles
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: pplying a two-dimensional (2D) divergence-free (DF) interpolation to a one-person deployable unmanned underwater vehicle?s (UUV) noisy moving-vessel acoustic Doppler current profiler (MV-ADCP) measurements improves the ...
Statistics of Internal Tide Bores and Internal Solitary Waves Observed on the Inner Continental Shelf off Point Sal, California
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractMoored observations of temperature and current were collected on the inner continental shelf off Point Sal, California, between 9 June and 8 August 2015. The measurements consist of 10 moorings in total: 4 moorings ...
Heating of the Midshelf and Inner Shelf by Warm Internal Tidal Bores
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Cross-shore heat flux (CHF) spatiotemporal variability in the subtidal (ST), diurnal (DU), and semidiurnal (SD) bands is described for 35 days (summer 2015) from collocated vertical measures of temperature and currents ...
Surfzone Monitoring Using Rotary Wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study investigates the potential of rotary wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to monitor the surfzone. This paper shows that these UAVs are extremely flexible surveying platforms that can gather near-continuous ...
