Tidal Resonance in Juan de Fuca Strait and the Strait of Georgia
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The resonant period and quality factor Q are determined for the semienclosed sea comprising Juan de Fuca Strait, Puget Sound, and the Strait of Georgia. The observed tidal elevation gain and phase change, from the Pacific ...
A method to estimate reflection and directional spread using rotary spectra from accelerometers on large ice floes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he directional wave spectra in sea ice are an important aspect of the wave evolution and can provide insights into the dominant components of wave dissipation, i.e. dissipation due to scattering or dissipation due to viscous ...
Enhanced Turbulence Associated with the Diurnal Jet in the Ocean Surface Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: etailed observations of the diurnal jet, a surface intensification of the wind-driven current associated with the diurnal cycle of sea surface temperature (SST), were obtained during August and September 2012 in the ...
The Air–Sea Interaction Profiler (ASIP): An Autonomous Upwardly Rising Profiler for Microstructure Measurements in the Upper Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he upper few meters of the ocean form a critical layer for air?sea interaction, but because of observational challenges this region is undersampled. However, the physical processes controlling momentum transfer, gas exchange, ...
Evaluating the leeway coefficient of ocean drifters using operational marine environmental prediction systems
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The water following characteristics of six different drifter types are investigated using two different operational marine environmental prediction systems: one produced by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) and ...
