Observation and Estimation of Lagrangian, Stokes, and Eulerian Currents Induced by Wind and Waves at the Sea Surface
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The surface current response to winds is analyzed in a 2-yr time series of a 12-MHz (HF) Wellen Radar (WERA) off the west coast of France. Consistent with previous observations, the measured currents, after filtering tides, ...
Enhanced Turbulence Associated with the Diurnal Jet in the Ocean Surface Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: etailed observations of the diurnal jet, a surface intensification of the wind-driven current associated with the diurnal cycle of sea surface temperature (SST), were obtained during August and September 2012 in the ...
Observations of Shoaling Density Current Regime Changes in Internal Wave Interactions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We present in situ and remote observations of a Mississippi plume front in the Louisiana Bight. The plume propagated freely across the bight, rather than as a coastal current. The observed cross-front circulation pattern ...
On the Dynamics of the Southern Senegal Upwelling Center: Observed Variability from Synoptic to Superinertial Scales
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: pwelling off southern Senegal and Gambia takes place over a wide shelf with a large area where depths are shallower than 20 m. This results in typical upwelling patterns that are distinct (e.g., more persistent in time and ...
