Vertical Water Velocities from Underwater Gliders
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The underwater glider is set to become an important platform for oceanographers to gather data within oceans. Gliders are usually equipped with a conductivity?temperature?depth (CTD) sensor, but a wide range of other sensors ...
Ocean Glider Flight in the Presence of Surface Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
A Dynamic Flight Model for Slocum Gliders and Implications for Turbulence Microstructure Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The turbulent dissipation rate ε is a key parameter to many oceanographic processes. Recently, gliders have been increasingly used as a carrier for microstructure sensors. Compared to conventional ship-based methods, ...
Diffusive Convection under Rapidly Varying Conditions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractIn most observations of diffusive convection in the ocean and in lakes, the characteristic diffusive staircases evolve over long time scales under quasi-stationary background conditions. In the Baltic Sea, however, ...
