Estimates of the Vertical Wavenumber–Frequency Spectra of Vertical Shear and Strain
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Measurements of vertical shear and strain were acquired from the research platform FLIP during the PATCHEX experiment in October, 1986 (34°N, 127°W). Vertical sheer was shear from two separate Doppler sonar systems. A ...
Evaluating a Lithium-Seawater Battery on Gliders
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: eutral-buoyancy vehicles demand high density energy sources and lithium is light with high oxidation energy. PolyPlus Battery Company has developed a prototype lithium-seawater battery that is attractive for powering ...
Observations of Temperature Microstructure in NATRE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new autonomous instrument collected 76 profiles of temperature microstructure over a ten-day period in the eastern subtropical North Atlantic as part of the North Atlantic Tracer Release Experiment. The data between 200-m ...
Strain: Observations of the Vertical Gradient of Isopycnal Vertical Displacement
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this work a profiling CTD, operated from the research platform FLIP, is used to monitor the fine-scale density field as a function of both depth and time. A sequence of 10 000 CTD profiles from the surface to 560 m is ...
Gliders Measure Western Boundary Current Transport from the South Pacific to the Equator
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Spray? gliders, most launched from small boats near shore, have established a sustainable time series of equatorward transport through the Solomon Sea. The first 3.5 years (mid-2007 through 2010) are analyzed. Coast-to-coast ...
Depth-Average Velocity from Spray Underwater Gliders
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe depth-average velocity is routinely calculated using data from underwater gliders. The calculation is a dead reckoning, where the difference between the glider?s velocity over ground and its velocity through ...
