Abstract: The hydrographic structure of the Labrador Sea during wintertime convection is described. The cruise, part of the Deep Convection Experiment, took place in February?March 1997 amidst an extended period of strong forcing ...

Abstract: A general phenomenological formulation for drop size distribution (DSD), written down as a scaling law, is proposed. It accounts for all previous fitted DSDs. As a main implication of the expression proposed, the integral ...

Abstract: The optical spectropluviometer is a shadowgraph instrument able to measure independently the equivalent diameter and the fall speed of raindrops at ground level. Hardware and software modifications are proposed and tested. ...

Abstract: AbstractA data telemetry technique for communicating over standard oceanographic sea cables that achieves a nearly 100-fold increase in bandwidth as compared to traditional systems has been recently developed and successfully ...

Abstract: High-resolution hydrographic and velocity measurements across the East Greenland shelf break south of Denmark Strait have revealed an intense, narrow current banked against the upper continental slope. This is believed to ...

Abstract: Nowcasting precipitation is a key element in the anticipation of floods in warning systems. In this framework, weather radars are very useful because of the high resolution of their measurements both in time and space. The ...

Abstract: Because echoes caused by nonmeteorological targets significantly affect radar scans, contaminated bins must be identified and eliminated before precipitation can be quantitatively estimated from radar measurements. Under ...

Abstract: AbstractShipboard hydrographic and velocity measurements collected in summer 2014 are used to study the evolution of the freshwater coastal current in southern Greenland as it encounters Cape Farewell. The velocity structure ...

Abstract: Two sets of repeat hydrographic sections, centered at 55°W and 50°W, are used to study the mean features and long-term variability of the slopewater system south of Newfoundland, inshore of the Gulf Stream. The upper-layer ...
