Periodic Wind-Driven Circulation in an Elongated and Rotating Basin
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An idealized model is developed for the three-dimensional response of a coastal basin (e.g., lagoon, bay, or estuary) to time-periodic wind stress. This model handles basins that are deeper and/or shallower than an Ekman ...
Low-Mode Internal Tide Propagation in a Turbulent Eddy Field
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: nderstanding and predicting how internal tides distort and lose coherence as they propagate through the ocean has been identified as a key issue for interpreting data from the upcoming wide-swath altimeter mission Surface ...
Diagnosing Surface Mixed Layer Dynamics from High-Resolution Satellite Observations: Numerical Insights
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: igh-resolution numerical experiments of ocean mesoscale eddy turbulence show that the wind-driven mixed layer (ML) dynamics affects mesoscale motions in the surface layers at scales lower than O(60 km). At these scales, ...
