Observation and Estimation of Lagrangian, Stokes, and Eulerian Currents Induced by Wind and Waves at the Sea Surface
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The surface current response to winds is analyzed in a 2-yr time series of a 12-MHz (HF) Wellen Radar (WERA) off the west coast of France. Consistent with previous observations, the measured currents, after filtering tides, ...
Surface Roughness Changes by Finescale Current Gradients: Properties at Multiple Azimuth View Angles
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: t times, high-resolution images of sea surface roughness can provide stunning details of submesoscale upper-ocean dynamics. As interpreted, transformations of short-scale wind waves by horizontal current gradients are ...
Surface Roughness Imaging of Currents Shows Divergence and Strain in the Wind Direction
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: mages of sea surface roughness?for example, obtained by synthetic aperture radars (SAR) or by radiometers viewing areas in and around the sun glitter?at times provide clear observations of meso- and submesoscale oceanic ...
