Observations of Turbulence in the Ocean Surface Boundary Layer: Energetics and Transport

Source: Journal of Physical Oceanography:;2009:;Volume( 039 ):;issue: 005:;page 1077

Author(s): Gerbi, Gregory P.; Trowbridge, John H.; Terray, Eugene A.; Plueddemann, Albert J.; Kukulka, Tobias

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: Observations of turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) dynamics in the ocean surface boundary layer are presented here and compared with results from previous observational, numerical, and analytic studies. As in previous studies, ...

Evidence of Energy and Momentum Flux from Swell to Wind

Source: Journal of Physical Oceanography:;2016:;Volume( 046 ):;issue: 007:;page 2143

Author(s): Kahma, Kimmo K.; Donelan, Mark A.; Drennan, William M.; Terray, Eugene A.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: easurements of pressure near the surface in conditions of wind sea and swell are reported. Swell, or waves that overrun the wind, produces an upward flux of energy and momentum from waves to the wind and corresponding ...

ASIS—A New Air–Sea Interaction Spar Buoy: Design and Performance at Sea

Source: Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology:;2000:;volume( 017 ):;issue: 005:;page 708

Author(s): Graber, Hans C.; Terray, Eugene A.; Donelan, Mark A.; Drennan, William M.; Van Leer, John C.; Peters, Donald B.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: This paper describes a new, compact buoy, the Air?Sea Interaction Spar (ASIS), capable of reliably and accurately measuring directional wave spectra, atmospheric surface fluxes, and radiation in the the open ocean. The ...

Measurements of Momentum and Heat Transfer across the Air–Sea Interface

Source: Journal of Physical Oceanography:;2008:;Volume( 038 ):;issue: 005:;page 1054

Author(s): Gerbi, Gregory P.; Trowbridge, John H.; Edson, James B.; Plueddemann, Albert J.; Terray, Eugene A.; Fredericks, Janet J.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: This study makes direct measurements of turbulent fluxes in the mixed layer in order to close heat and momentum budgets across the air?sea interface and to assess the ability of rigid-boundary turbulence models to predict ...

The LatMix Summer Campaign: Submesoscale Stirring in the Upper Ocean

Source: Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society:;2014:;volume( 096 ):;issue: 008:;page 1257

Shafer; Tandon, Amit; Taylor, John R.; Terray, Eugene A.; Thomas, Leif N.; Ledwell, James R.

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 ...
