Update on the Global Energy Dissipation Rate of Deep-Ocean Low-Frequency Flows by Bottom Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe global dissipation caused by bottom boundary layer drag is one of the major pathways for the consumption of kinetic energy in the deep ocean. However, the spatial distribution and global integral of the drag ...
Barotropic and Baroclinic Inverse Kinetic Energy Cascade in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
The Effects of Altimeter Instrument Noise on the Estimation of the Wavenumber Spectrum of Sea Surface Height
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he wavenumber spectrum of sea surface height (SSH) observed by satellite altimetry was analyzed by Xu and Fu. The spectral shape in the wavelength range of 70?250 km was approximated by a power law, representing a regime ...
Global Variability of the Wavenumber Spectrum of Oceanic Mesoscale Turbulence
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he wavenumber spectra of sea surface height from satellite altimeter observations have revealed complex spatial variability that cannot be explained by a universal theory of mesoscale turbulence. Near the edge of the core ...
The Global Characteristics of the Wavenumber Spectrum of Ocean Surface Wind
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he wavenumber spectra of wind kinetic energy over the ocean from Quick Scatterometer (QuikSCAT) observations have revealed complex spatial variability in the wavelength range of 1000?3000 km, with spectral slopes varying ...
De-Aliasing of Large-Scale High-Frequency Barotropic Signals from Satellite Altimetry in the Japan/East Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In the Japan/East Sea, energetic high-frequency large-scale barotropic motions are shown to lead to large aliasing errors in satellite altimetry observations. The combined aliasing from several neighboring and crossing ...
A Comparative Study of Flow Boiling Heat Transfer and Pressure Drop Characteristics in a Pin-Finned Heat Sink at Horizontal/Vertical Upward Flow Orientations
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: With the continuous development of power electronic devices toward miniaturization and compactness, it is necessary to develop more efficient flow boiling heat transfer technologies. In this work, the flow boiling heat ...
