RISOpen Ocean Momentum Flux Measurements in Moderate to Strong Winds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Measurements of the momentum flux were made by the Reynolds flux and dissipation methods on a deep water stable tower operated by the Bedford Institute of Oceanography, A modified Gill propeller-vane anemometer was used ...
Dependence of Currents and Density on the Spring–Neap Cycle and the Diurnal Inequality in Burrard Inlet, British Columbia: Simulations and Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations of the circulation in a hole near a constriction in Burrard Inlet are simulated using a two-dimensional (i.e., laterally integrated) numerical model. The model uses a level-2 version of the Mellor?Yamada ...
Sensible and Latent Heat Flux Measurements over the Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This papar presents an extensive act of sensible heat (Reynolds flux and dissipation methods) and latent heat (dissipation method) flux measurements from a stable deep water tower and from ships on the deep sea. Operational ...
Partition of energy Loss from the Barotropic Tide in Fjords
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: As the barotropic tide propagates into and out of a fjord, it loses energy to friction, internal tides and high-frequency internal waves. Estimates of these losses for three British Columbia fjords, using current meter ...
Energy Fluxes due to the Surface and Internal Tides in Knight Inlet, British Columbia
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A laterally integrated (two dimensional) nonlinear numerical model is used to examine the flux of M2 tidal energy in Knight Inlet. The simulated flux of tidal energy into the inlet is somewhat smaller than that estimated ...
On Deep-Water Renewals in Indian Arm, British Columbia: Sensitivity to the Production of Turbulent Kinetic Energy Caused by Horizontal Variations in the Flow Field
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A two-dimensional (i.e., laterally averaged) numerical model of the circulation in Burrard Inlet and Indian Arm near British Columbia, Canada, is used to examine the sensitivity of deep-water renewal events in Indian Arm ...
Spectra of the Temperature and Humidity Fluctuations and of the Fluxes of Moisture and Sensible Heat in the Marine Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Temperature and humidity fluctuation data were collected on the R/V Flip during BOMEK (Barbados Oceanographic and Meteorological Experiment) in May 1969 and during a pre-BOMEX trial cruise near San Diego in February 1969. ...
The Simulation of Deep Water Exchange in a Fjord: Indian Arm, British Columbia, Canada
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A numerical model is used to simulate deep water renewals that were observed to occur in Burrard Inlet/Indian Arm over a time period of about 100 days during winter 1984/85. The renewals (bottom water flowing from Burrard ...
Computation of Surface Fluxes from Climatological and Synoptic Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The effect of using climatological and synoptic atmospheric data commonly available at oceanic locations on the computations of surface fluxes was examined. The data used in this study are a 10-year time series of surface ...
