A Review of the Program of the Ocean Products Center
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Ocean Products Center (OPC) represents a consolidation of personnel from different parts of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The purpose of OPC is to generate and disseminate various marine ...
Instability of Frontal Motions in the Atmosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Stability properties of a two-layer model of homogeneous and incompressible fluid subject to gravity and rotation are investigated by the small-perturbation method. The upper and lower fluids correspond, respectively, to ...
A Method of Objective Analysis for Currents in a Lake with Application to Lake Ontario
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The mean circulation in large takes is nearly nondivergent in character. This paper takes advantage of this fact to represent the flow field in terms of the transport streamfunction. The horizontal velocity vector (v) and ...
Surface Normal Modes of Lake Michigan: Calculations Compared with Spectra of Observed Water Level Fluctuations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Periods and structures of several normal modes of Lake Michigan (including Green Bay) are calculated theoretically, taking into account the Lake's topography and the earth's rotation. The calculations are based on a Galerkin ...
