Heat Transport through Diurnal Warm Layers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Penetration of solar radiation in the upper few meters of the ocean creates a near-surface, stratified diurnal warm layer. Wind stress accelerates a diurnal jet in this layer. Turbulence generated at the diurnal thermocline, ...
Evolution of Turbulence in the Diurnal Warm Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe daily evolution of temperature, stratification, and turbulence in the diurnal warm layer is described from time series measurements at low to moderate winds and strong insolation in the equatorial Indian Ocean. ...
The Unpredictable Nature of Internal Tides on Continental Shelves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ackets of nonlinear internal waves (NLIWs) in a small area of the Mid-Atlantic Bight were 10 times more energetic during a local neap tide than during the preceding spring tide. This counterintuitive result cannot be ...
Stratified Shear Instabilities in Diurnal Warm Layers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Modeling Turbulent Subglacial Meltwater Plumes: Implications for Fjord-Scale Buoyancy-Driven Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: jord-scale circulation forced by rising turbulent plumes of subglacial meltwater has been identified as one possible mechanism of oceanic heat transfer to marine-terminating outlet glaciers. This study uses buoyant plume ...
Submesoscale Processes at Shallow Salinity Fronts in the Bay of Bengal: Observations during the Winter Monsoon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractLateral submesoscale processes and their influence on vertical stratification at shallow salinity fronts in the central Bay of Bengal during the winter monsoon are explored using high-resolution data from a cruise ...
Bay of Bengal Intraseasonal Oscillations and the 2018 Monsoon Onset
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Flippin’ χSOLO, an Upper-Ocean Autonomous Turbulence-Profiling Float
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
ASIRI: An Ocean–Atmosphere Initiative for Bay of Bengal
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ir?Sea Interactions in the Northern Indian Ocean (ASIRI) is an international research effort (2013?17) aimed at understanding and quantifying coupled atmosphere?ocean dynamics of the Bay of Bengal (BoB) with relevance to ...
