On the Long-Wavelength Validation of the SWOT KaRIn Measurement
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission will measure the sea surface height (SSH) using a Ka-band radar interferometer (KaRIn) over a swath off the nadir of the satellite tracks. The mission requires ...
Observational Constraints on the Submesoscale Sea Surface Height Variance of Balanced Motion
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
The Effect of the Kerguelen Plateau on the Ocean Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Kerguelen Plateau is a major topographic feature in the Southern Ocean. Located in the Indian sector and spanning nearly 2000 km in the meridional direction from the polar to the subantarctic region, it deflects the ...
Decomposition of the Multimodal Multidirectional M2 Internal Tide Field
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe M2 internal tide field contains waves of various baroclinic modes and various horizontal propagation directions. This paper presents a technique for decomposing the sea surface height (SSH) field of the multimodal ...
Evaluation of a 4DVAR Assimilation System in the California Current at the SWOT Calibration/Validation Site
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Reconstructing the Ocean's Interior from Surface Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: new method is proposed for extrapolating subsurface velocity and density fields from sea surface density and sea surface height (SSH). In this, the surface density is linked to the subsurface fields via the surface ...
Nonlinear Radiating Instability of a Barotropic Eastern Boundary Current
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: inear and nonlinear radiating instabilities of an eastern boundary current are studied using a barotropic quasigeostrophic model in an idealized meridional channel. The eastern boundary current is meridionally uniform and ...
On the Spatial Scales to be Resolved by the Surface Water and Ocean Topography Ka-Band Radar Interferometer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission aims to measure the sea surface height (SSH) at a high spatial resolution using a Ka-band radar interferometer (KaRIn). The primary oceanographic objective is to ...
Seasonality in Transition Scale from Balanced to Unbalanced Motions in the World Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe transition scale Lt from balanced geostrophic motions to unbalanced wave motions, including near-inertial flows, internal tides, and inertia?gravity wave continuum, is explored using the output from a global ...
An Observing System Simulation Experiment for the Calibration and Validation of the Surface Water Ocean Topography Sea Surface Height Measurement Using In Situ Platforms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe wavenumber spectrum of sea surface height (SSH) is an important indicator of the dynamics of the ocean interior. While the SSH wavenumber spectrum has been well studied at mesoscale wavelengths and longer, using ...
