A Conceptual Tool for Climate Change Risk Assessment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study develops a new conceptual tool to explore the potential societal consequences of climate change. The conceptual tool delineates three quasi-independent factors that contribute to the societal consequences of ...
Evidence for Submesoscale Barriers to Horizontal Mixing in the Ocean from Current Measurements and Aerial Photographs
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Ocean submesoscale (?2?20 km) mixing processes play a major role in ocean dynamics, in physical?biological interactions (e.g., in the dispersion of larvae), and in the dispersion of pollutants. In this paper, horizontal ...
An Evaluation of χT Estimation Techniques: Implications for Batchelor Fitting and ε
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Techniques for the accurate estimation of the dissipation rate of temperature variance ?T from temperature microstructure measurements are synthesized and evaluated. The techniques focus on the treatment of contamination ...
An Autonomous Open-Ocean Stereoscopic PIV Profiler
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Over the past decade, a novel free-fall imaging profiler has been under development at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography to observe and quantify biological and physical structure in the upper 100 m of the ocean. The ...
