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 ...

Abstract: Fall?winter recurrence of current reversal from westward to eastward is identified on the Texas?Louisiana continental shelf using the current-meter [Texas?Louisiana Shelf Physical Oceanography Program (LATEX-A)] and ...

Abstract: The capability of the reconstruction scheme developed in Part I is demonstrated here through three practical applications. First, the nonlinear regression model is used to reproduce the upper-layer three-dimensional ...

Abstract: A new approach is developed to reconstruct a three-dimensional incompressible flow from noisy data in an open domain using a two-scalar (toroidal and poloidal) spectral representation. The results are presented in two ...

Abstract: Every forecast should include an estimate of its likely accuracy, as a measure of predictability. A new measure, the first passage time (FPT), which is defined as the time period when the model error first exceeds a ...

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 ...

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 ...
