Estimate of Ocean Mixed Layer Deepening after a Typhoon Passage over the South China Sea by Using Satellite Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he ocean responses to Typhoon Cimaron, which influenced the South China Sea (SCS) from 1 to 8 November 2006, are analyzed. Based on satellite-observed sea surface temperature (SST) and climatological temperature profiles ...
A Method for Processing Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler Velocity Data from Towed, Undulating Vehicles
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The utility of the acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) for sampling small time and space scales of coastal environments can be enhanced by mounting a high-frequency (1200 kHz) ADCP on an oscillating towed body. This ...
Multimodal Internal Waves Generated over a Subcritical Ridge: Impact of the Upper-Ocean Stratification
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: nteraction of barotropic tides with subsurface topography is vital to ocean mixing. Yet the behavior of large-amplitude, nonlinear, internal solitary waves (ISWs) that can cause strong mixing remains poorly understood, ...
A New Method for Estimation of the Sensible Heat Flux under Unstable Conditions Using Satellite Vector Winds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: It has been difficult to estimate the sensible heat flux at the air?sea interface using satellite data because of the difficulty in remotely observing the sea level air temperature. In this study, a new method is developed ...
Seasonality of Tides in Southeast Asian Waters
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractAn analysis of water level time series from 20 tide gauges in Southeast Asia finds that diurnal and semidiurnal astronomical tides exhibit strong seasonal variability of both amplitude and phase, which is not caused ...
