Long-Term Sea Surface Temperature Variability along the U.S. East Coast
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Sea surface temperature variations along the entire U.S. East Coast from 1875 to 2007 are characterized using a collection of historical observations from lighthouses and lightships combined with recent buoy and shore-based ...
Intraseasonal Cross-Shelf Variability of Hypoxia along the Newport, Oregon, Hydrographic Line
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: bservations of hypoxia, dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations < 1.4 ml L?1, off the central Oregon coast vary in duration and spatial extent throughout each upwelling season. Underwater glider measurements along the Newport ...
Diagnosis of the Three-Dimensional Circulation Associated with Mesoscale Motion in the California Current
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A high-resolution upper-ocean survey of a cyclonic jet meander and an adjacent cyclonic eddy in the California Current region near 38°N, 126°W was conducted as part of the summer of 1993 Eastern Boundary Currents program. ...
Declining Oxygen in the Northeast Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: limate models predict a decrease in oceanic dissolved oxygen and a thickening of the oxygen minimum zone, associated with global warming. Comprehensive observational analyses of oxygen decline are challenging, given generally ...
Buoyancy-Driven Coastal Currents off Oregon during Fall and Winter
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: uring fall/winter off the Oregon coast, oceanographic surveys are relatively scarce because of rough weather conditions. This challenge has been overcome by the use of autonomous underwater gliders deployed along the Newport ...
Diagnosis of the Three-Dimensional Circulation in Mesoscale Features with Large Rossby Number
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Several diagnoses of three-dimensional circulation, using density and velocity data from a high-resolution, upper-ocean SeaSoar and acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) survey of a cyclonic jet meander and adjacent ...
Characterization of Mixing at the Edge of a Kuroshio Intrusion into the South China Sea: Analysis of Thermal Variance Diffusivity Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
The LatMix Summer Campaign: Submesoscale Stirring in the Upper Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ateral stirring is a basic oceanographic phenomenon affecting the distribution of physical, chemical, and biological fields. Eddy stirring at scales on the order of 100 km (the mesoscale) is fairly well understood and ...
