Simultaneous Current-Temperature Profiles in the Equatorial Counter Current
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Serial current and temperature measurements were made during the Global Atmospheric Research Program Atlantic Tropical Experiment (GATE) with unattended autonomous profilers (Cyclesondes) in the North Equatorial Counter ...
Observations of the Coastal Upwelling Region near 34°30′N of California: Spring 1981
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Coordinated meteorological and oceanographic (CTD) measurements were made near Point Conception, California, during March?April 1981. The goal of the observations was to study coastal upwelling and the local characteristics ...
Observation and Simulation of Storm-Induced Mixed-Layer Deepening
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two observed cases of mixed-layer (ML) deepening due to storms are analyzed and simulated. The primary goal is to learn whether the relevant scale velocity in the parameterization of wind-driven deepening is U*, the wind ...
Coastal Oceanography Using a Small AUV
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Bathymetry, current, temperature, and depth (CTD) measurements using a small, mobile, autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) platform are described. Autonomous surveys of a shallow water column off the east coast of Florida ...
A Cyclesonde View of Coastal Upwelling
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In August 1973, 320 vertical profiles of temperature and horizontal velocity were recorded during a 64 h period by an array of three Cyclesondes in the coastal upwelling region off Oregon. The mean interior along-shore ...
ASIS—A New Air–Sea Interaction Spar Buoy: Design and Performance at Sea
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 ...
