A Study of Tidal Energy Dissipation and Bottom Stress in an Estuary
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A Method for inferring an area-averaged bottom stress and energy dissipation rate in a tidal estuarine channel is presented. The one-dimensional continuity and momentum relations are developed using simplifying assumptions ...
Design and Performance of a Horizontal Mooring for Upper-Ocean Research
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper describes the design and performance of a two-dimensional moored array for sampling horizontal variability in the upper ocean. The mooring was deployed in Massachusetts Bay in a water depth of 84 m for the purpose ...
Measuring Upper Ocean Variability from an Array of Surface Moorings in the Subtropical Convergence Zone
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Measurements of upper ocean variability were made in the subtropical convergence zone southwest of Bermuda from an array of five surface moorings set with spacings of 16 to 53 km. The intent was to observe oceanic fronts ...
Measuring Near-Surface Meteorology over the Ocean from an Array of Surface Moorings in the Subtropical Convergence Zone
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An array of five surface moorings was set in the subtropical convergence zone southwest of Bermuda with spacings of 16 to 53 km. Meteorological instrumentation on each of the surface buoys recorded wind velocity, barometric ...
