Abstract: The energy exchange between ocean surface waves and ice floes in the marginal ice zone (MIZ) involves the scattering and attenuation of wave energy and the excitation of oscillation modes of the ice floes, as open ocean ...

Abstract: A model for the response of waves to turning wind was recently derived from the growth?fetch relations for developing waves. An essential part of the model involves the drag coefficient Cd. Recently, the ERS-1 Grand Banks ...

Abstract: The existence of an f?5 equilibrium range was hypothesized for middle to high frequencies for a well-developed sea generated by the physical parameters of gross sea state in the pioneering work of Phillips. Various ...

Abstract: It is well known that large lakes can perturb local weather and climate through mesoscale circulations, for example, lake effects on storms and lake breezes, and the impacts on fluxes of heat, moisture, and momentum. ...

Abstract: In this study, three state-of-the-art operational forecast wave models are implemented on nested grids in order to achieve fine-resolution wave simulations (0.1°) in the Gulf of Maine and related northwest Atlantic waters. ...

Abstract: he authors investigate the interannual variations of freshwater content (FWC) and sea surface height (SSH) in the Beaufort Sea, particularly their increases during 2004?09, using a coupled ice?ocean model (CIOM), adapted ...

Abstract: Ocean models usually estimate surface currents without explicit modeling of the ocean waves. To consider the impact of waves on surface currents, here a wave model is used in a modified Ekman layer model, which is imbedded ...

Abstract: High-resolution surface fluxes over the global ocean are needed to evaluate coupled atmosphere?ocean models and weather forecasting models, provide surface forcing for ocean models, understand the regional and temporal ...

Abstract: A comprehensive multidisciplinary research program on coastal fog provides unique insights on its lifecycle and predictability barriers.C-FOG is a comprehensive bi-national project dealing with the formation, persistence ...
