RISDynamical Potential Energy: A New Approach to Ocean Energetics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he concept of available potential energy is supposed to indicate which part of the potential energy is available to transform into kinetic energy. Yet it is impossible to obtain a unique definition of available potential ...
Measurement Biases in Ocean Temperature Profiles from Marine Mammal Dataloggers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
On the Patterns of Wind-Power Input to the Ocean Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: athways of wind-power input into the ocean general circulation are analyzed using Ekman theory. Direct rates of wind work can be calculated through the wind stress acting on the surface geostrophic flow. However, because ...
Effects of the Asymmetry between Surface and Interior Flow on the Dynamics of a Thermohaline Loop
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: arge-scale overturning cells in the ocean typically combine an essentially horizontal surface branch and an interior branch below, where the circulation spans both horizontal and vertical scales. The aim of this study is ...
A Linear Decomposition of the Southern Ocean Thermohaline Structure
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he thermohaline structure of the Southern Ocean is deeply influenced by the presence of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), where water masses of the World Ocean are advected, transformed, and redistributed to the ...
Defining a Simplified Yet “Realistic” Equation of State for Seawater
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: here is a growing realization that the nonlinear nature of the equation of state has a deep impact on the global ocean circulation; however, the understanding of the global effects of these nonlinearities remains elusive. ...
Global Calculation of Tidal Energy Conversion into Vertical Normal Modes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: direct calculation of the tidal generation of internal waves over the global ocean is presented. The calculation is based on a semianalytical model, assuming that the internal tide characteristic slope exceeds the bathymetric ...
Correction and Accuracy of High- and Low-Resolution CTD Data from Animal-Borne Instruments
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractMost available CTD Satellite Relay Data Logger (CTD-SRDL) profiles are heavily compressed before satellite transmission. High-resolution profiles recorded at the sampling frequency of 0.5 Hz are, however, available ...
Delayed-Mode Calibration of Hydrographic Data Obtained from Animal-Borne Satellite Relay Data Loggers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: delayed-mode calibration procedure is presented to improve the quality of hydrographic data from CTD?Satellite Relay Data Loggers (CTD?SRDL) deployed on elephant seals. This procedure is applied on a dataset obtained with ...
A Correction for the Thermal Mass–Induced Errors of CTD Tags Mounted on Marine Mammals
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe effect of thermal mass on the salinity estimate from conductivity?temperature?depth (CTD) tags sensor mounted on marine mammals is documented, and a correction scheme is proposed to mitigate its impact. The ...
