Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: umerous acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) surveys were performed in the Inner Sound of the Pentland Firth, a channel between the Orkney Islands and the northern coast of Scotland connecting the Atlantic Ocean to the ...
Parameterizations and Algorithms for Oceanic Whitecap Coverage
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: hipboard measurements of fractional whitecap coverage W and wind speed at 10-m height, obtained during the 2006 Marine Aerosol Production (MAP) campaign, have been combined with ECMWF wave model and Quick Scatterometer ...
Sensitivity of Ferry Services to the Western Isles of Scotland to Changes in Wave and Wind Climate
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he roughness of the seas is rarely mentioned as a major factor in the economic or social welfare of a region. In this study, the relationship between the ocean wave climate and the economy of the Western Isles of Scotland ...
FluxEngine: A Flexible Processing System for Calculating Atmosphere–Ocean Carbon Dioxide Gas Fluxes and Climatologies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he air?sea flux of greenhouse gases [e.g., carbon dioxide (CO2)] is a critical part of the climate system and a major factor in the biogeochemical development of the oceans. More accurate and higher-resolution calculations ...
