RISThe Relation of Near-Inertial Motions Observed in the Mixed layer During the JASIN (1978) Experiment to the Local Wind Stress and to the Quasi-Geostrophic Flow Field
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Oscillations with near-inertial frequencies were an energetic component of the upper ocean velocity field observed at each of two moorings separated by 44 km during the Joint Air Sea INteraction (JASIN) experiment during ...
Near-Surface Velocity Variability at Inertial and Subinertial Frequencies in the Vicinity of the California Current
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations of the horizontal velocity field in the upper 150 m, made from the Research Platform FLIP as it drifted of the coast of Baja California, were used to examine the velocity of the velocity field and its relation ...
Variability and Trends in Surface Meteorology and Air–Sea Fluxes at a Site off Northern Chile
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ime series of surface meteorology and air?sea exchanges of heat, freshwater, and momentum collected from a long-term surface mooring located 1600 km west of the coast of northern Chile are analyzed. The observations, ...
Objectively Analyzed Air–Sea Heat Fluxes for the Global Ice-Free Oceans (1981–2005)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A 25-yr (1981?2005) time series of daily latent and sensible heat fluxes over the global ice-free oceans has been produced by synthesizing surface meteorology obtained from satellite remote sensing and atmospheric model ...
Structure and Instability of the Ekman Spiral in the Presence of Surface Gravity Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The physical processes responsible for maintaining the mixed layer am examined by considering the velocity structure. The low-frequency Ekman response in the interior of unstratified mixed layers is much less sheared than ...
Accuracy of the IMET Sensor Package in the Subtropics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The accuracies of the meteorological sensors (air temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, near-surface temperature, longwave and shortwave radiation, and wind speed and direction) that compose the Improved ...
The Interface or Air–Sea Flux Component of the TOGA Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere Response Experiment and Its Impact on Subsequent Air–Sea Interaction Studies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The interface or air?sea flux component of the Coupled Ocean?Atmosphere Response Experiment (COARE) of the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere (TOGA) research program and its subsequent impact on studies of air?sea interaction ...
Observations of Superinertial and Near-Inertial Wind-driven Flow
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The superinertial and near-inertial wind-driven flow in the western North Atlantic is examined using data from two recent experiments. The Frontal Air?Sea Interaction Experiment (FASINEX) took place at 27°N, 70°W during ...
Diurnal Restratification Events in the Southeast Pacific Trade Wind Regime
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his paper describes the occurrence of diurnal restratification events found in the southeast trade wind regime off northern Chile. This is a region where persistent marine stratus clouds are found and where there is a less ...
The Frontal Air-Sea Interaction Experiment (FASINEX); Part II: Experimental Plan
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Frontal Air-Sea Interaction Experiment (FASINEX) is a study of the response of the upper ocean to atmospheric forcing in the vicinity of an oceanic front in the subtropical convergence zone southwest of Bermuda, the ...
