Evaluating Where and Why Drifters Die
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: OAA ?s Global Drifter Program (GDP) manages a global array of ~1250 active satellite-tracked surface drifting buoys (?drifters?) in collaboration with numerous national and international partners. To better manage the ...
Spatial Optimal Interpolation of Aquarius Sea Surface Salinity: Algorithms and Implementation in the North Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: method is presented for mapping sea surface salinity (SSS) from Aquarius level-2 along-track data in order to improve the utility of the SSS fields at short length [O(150 km)] and time [O(1 week)] scales. The method is ...
Linear Wind-Forced Beta Plumes with Application to the Hawaiian Lee Countercurrent
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: wo numerical ocean models are used to study the baroclinic response to forcing by localized wind stress curl (i.e., a wind-forced ? plume, which is a circulation cell developing to the west of the source region and composed ...
Mean Dynamic Topography of the Ocean Derived from Satellite and Drifting Buoy Data Using Three Different Techniques
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Presented here are three mean dynamic topography maps derived with different methodologies. The first method combines sea level observed by the high-accuracy satellite radar altimetry with the geoid model of the Gravity ...
