RISLagrangian Observations of Inner-Shelf Motions in Southern California: Can Surface Waves Decelerate Shoreward-Moving Drifters Just outside the Surf Zone?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study explores Eulerian and Lagrangian circulation during weak winds at two inner-shelf locations off the Southern California coast where the shoreline, shelf, wind, and wave characteristics differ from those in previous ...
Floating Oil on Seawater, In Situ Thermal Structure, Thickness, and Remote Sensing—Part 1: Laboratory Study
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Thermal infrared (TIR) remote sensing shows potential for oil spill response. Most TIR remote sensing uses the brightness temperature contrast, ΔTB, between oil and oil-free water. This study evaluates the potential of ...
