RISEstimates of Horizontal Divergence and Vertical Velocity in the Equatorial Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Horizontal divergence and vertical velocity in the surface mixed layer of the equatorial Pacific between 90° and 150°W are estimated from current measurements obtained from trajectories of freely drifting buoys during ...
Assessment of the Water-Following Capabilities of CODE Drifters Based on Direct Relative Flow Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractDirect measurements of the relative water flow near the top and bottom of Coastal Ocean Dynamics Experiment (CODE) drifters were made in the northeast Pacific Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea in wind speeds as large ...
Surface Geostrophic Circulation of the Mediterranean Sea Derived from Drifter and Satellite Altimeter Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: rifter observations and satellite-derived sea surface height data are used to quantitatively study the surface geostrophic circulation of the entire Mediterranean Sea for the period spanning 1992?2010. After removal of the ...
Estimation of Surface Currents in the Adriatic Sea from Sequential Infrared Satellite Images
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The maximum cross-correlation (MCC) technique is utilized to estimate the Adriatic Sea surface currents in regions characterized by strong horizontal temperature gradients using sequential pairs of sea surface temperature ...
Quality Control and Interpolations of WOCE-TOGA Drifter Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Satellite-tracked drifting buoy data are being collected by numerous investigators and agencies in several countries for the World Ocean Circulation Experiment-Tropical Oceans Global Atmosphere (WOCE-TOGA) Surface Velocity ...
Statistical Analysis of the Surface Circulation in the California Current System Using Satellite-Tracked Drifters
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A kinematic description of the surface circulation in the southern California current System is presented using the statistics of the 7?11 month long trajectories of 29 satellite-tracked mixed layer drifters. The drifters ...
Historical Drifter Data and Statistical Prediction of Particle Motion: A Case Study in the Central Adriatic Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper, a method to analyze historical surface drifter data is presented that is aimed at investigating particle evolution as a function of initial conditions. Maps of drifter concentration at different times are ...
A Topographic–Rossby Mode Resonance over the Iceland–Faeroe Ridge
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An array of current meter moorings along 12°W on the southern side of the lceland-Faeroe Ridge reveals a narrowband barotropic oscillation with period 1.8 days in spectra of velocity. The signal is coherent over at least ...
Wind Effects on Drogued and Undrogued Drifters in the Eastern Mediterranean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The wind effects on drogued and undrogued drifters are assessed using Coastal Ocean Dynamics Experiment (CODE) and Surface Velocity Program (SVP) drifter datasets and ECMWF wind products in the eastern Mediterranean. Complex ...
Transport Properties in the Adriatic Sea as Deduced from Drifter Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The surface transport properties in the Adriatic Sea, a semienclosed subbasin of the Mediterranean Sea, have been studied using a drifter dataset in the period December 1994?March 1996. Three main points have been addressed. ...
