Irradiance Measurements in the Upper Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations were made of downward solar radiation as a function of depth during an experiment in the North Pacific (35°N, 155°W). The irradiance meter employed was sensitive to solar radiation of wavelength 400?1000 nm ...
Small-Scale Sea Surface Temperature Structure
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations of sea surface temperature and wave height were made from a large, manned spar buoy (R/P FLIP) ?100 km off the coast of Baja California. Surface temperature was measured with a radiation thermometer which ...
Observations of Upper Ocean Temperature and Salinity Structure During the POLE Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Mid-ocean observations (35°N, 155°W) of temperature and salinity were made from R/P Flip during the period 28 January-14 February 1974 as part of the NORPAX POLE Experiment. Autocorrelations for the time series of depth ...
Internal Waves in the Arctic Ocean: Comparison with Lower-Latitude Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A thermistor chain was moored below the pack ice from 50?150 m in the Arctic Ocean for five days in 1981. Oscillations in temperature are attributed to the vertical dispalcement of internal waves. The spectral shape of ...
The Structure of Near-Inertial Waves during Ocean Storms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Current meter data from two sites were analyzed for near-inertial motions generated by storm during the ten-month period of the Ocean Storms Experiment in the northeast Pacific Ocean. The most striking feature of the ...
Upper-Ocean Inertial Currents Forced by a Strong Storm. Part I: Data and Comparisons with Linear Theory
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A strong, isolated October storm generated 0.35?0.7 m s?1 inertia] frequency currents in the 40-m deep mixed layer of a 300 km?300 km region of the northeast Pacific Ocean. The authors describe the evolution of these ...
Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A summary is presented of the Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean (SHEBA) project, with a focus on the field experiment that was conducted from October 1997 to October 1998. The primary objective of the field work was ...
