A Multidimensional Spectral Description of Ocean Variability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n updated empirical, analytical model for the frequency and wavenumber distribution of balanced motion in the ocean is presented. The spectrum model spans periods longer than the inertial but shorter than a decade and ...
Phase Speed Cross Spectra of Eddy Heat Fluxes in the Eastern Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study investigates the observed spectral character of eddy heat fluxes near the ocean surface, focusing on the distribution in wavenumber and phase speed space. Eddy heat fluxes in the eastern Pacific are calculated ...
Asymmetries between Wavenumber Spectra of Along- and Across-Track Velocity from Tandem Mission Altimetry
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: atellite altimetry has proven to be one of the most useful oceanographic datasets, providing a continuous, near-global record of surface geostrophic currents, among other uses. One limitation of observations from a single ...
