Abstract: Estimation of spectral mean frequency (spectral first moment) by the variance technique is considered for a signal process contaminated by band limited, additive noise. It is shown that the covariance-based spectral mean ...

Abstract: Several popular techniques employed to remotely sense oceanic velocity fields utilize the Doppler shifts of backscattered radiation (such as sound or light) from suspended particles to estimate fluid velocities. Implicit ...

Abstract: The mean structure and time-dependent behavior of the shelfbreak jet along the southern Beaufort Sea, and its ability to transport properties into the basin interior via eddies are explored using high-resolution mooring ...

Abstract: Observations of turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) dynamics in the ocean surface boundary layer are presented here and compared with results from previous observational, numerical, and analytic studies. As in previous studies, ...

Abstract: irect covariance flux (DCF) measurements taken from floating platforms are contaminated by wave-induced platform motions that need to be removed before computation of the turbulent fluxes. Several correction algorithms ...

Abstract: Langmuir circulation (LC) is a turbulent upper-ocean process driven by wind and surface waves that contributes significantly to the transport of momentum, heat, and mass in the oceanic surface layer. The authors have ...

Abstract: This study makes direct measurements of turbulent fluxes in the mixed layer in order to close heat and momentum budgets across the air?sea interface and to assess the ability of rigid-boundary turbulence models to predict ...

Abstract: his study investigates the exchange of momentum between the atmosphere and ocean using data collected from four oceanic field experiments. Direct covariance estimates of momentum fluxes were collected in all four experiments ...
