Intrusion Characteristics in the Antarctic Polar Front
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Data obtained on two cruises to the Antarctic Polar Front are used to investigate the nature of thermohaline intrusions in the front. These data, obtained in the Drake Passage and south of New Zealand, include CTD time ...
Anomalous Characteristics of Equatorial Thermohaline Finestructure
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Finestructure observations gathered in the equatorial Pacific are discussed. The measurements consist of a 48 h CTD time series within the salinity front at the northern edge of the Equatorial Undercurrent at 110°W. The ...
Temporal Characteristics of Abyssal Finescale Motions above Rough Bathymetry
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Current-meter data from a two-year mooring within a fracture zone on the western flank of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge in the South Atlantic Ocean are reported. The mooring, deployed in conjunction with the Brazil Basin Tracer ...
Tidally Driven Vorticity, Diurnal Shear, and Turbulence atop Fieberling Seamount
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Fine- and microstructure profiles collected over Fieberling Seamount at 32°26?N in the eastern North Pacific reveal a variety of intensified baroclinic motions driven by astronomical diurnal tides. The forced response ...
Seasonal Kinetic Energy Variability of Near-Inertial Motions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Seasonal variability of near-inertial horizontal kinetic energy is examined using observations from a series of McLane Moored Profiler moorings located at 39°N, 69°W in the western North Atlantic Ocean in combination with ...
Horizontal Density Structure and Restratification of the Arctic Ocean Surface Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ce-tethered profiler (ITP) measurements from the Arctic Ocean?s Canada Basin indicate an ocean surface layer beneath sea ice with significant horizontal density structure on scales of hundreds of kilometers to the order 1 ...
Finescale Velocity-Density Characteristics and Richardson Number Statistics of the Eastern Equatorial Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An analysis of finescale horizontal-velocity shear and density data collected along 110°W longitude in the equatorial Pacific is presented. The measurements were made with the free-fall velocity?density profiler, TOPS. ...
Observations of Horizontal Velocities and Vertical Displacements in the Equatorial Pacific Ocean Associated with the Early Stages of the 1982/83 El Niño
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Pacific near-equatorial absolute-velocity data and CTD?O2 observations collected from the R.V. Conrad in the northern fall of 1982 are presented. Quite by chance, the cruise took place during the early stages of the 1982/83 ...
Hyperbolic Source Location of Crack Related Acoustic Emission in Bone
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Little work has been done on the localization of microcracks in bone using acoustic emission. Microcrack localization is useful to study the fracture process in bone and to prevent fractures in patients. Locating microcracks ...
Near-Inertial Internal Wave Field in the Canada Basin from Ice-Tethered Profilers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: alinity and temperature profiles from drifting ice-tethered profilers in the Beaufort gyre region of the Canada Basin are used to characterize and quantify the regional near-inertial internal wave field over one year. ...
