Comment on “An Efficient Method for Determining the Significance of Covariance Estimates”
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Intrusions and Turbulent Mixing above a Small Eastern Mediterranean Seafloor Slope
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Observations of Small-Scale Secondary Instabilities during the Shoaling of Internal Bores on a Deep-Ocean Slope
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Rockall Bank area, located in the northeast Atlantic Ocean, is a region dominated by topographically trapped diurnal tides. These tides generate up- and downslope displacements that can be locally described as swashing ...
Extracting Meaningful Information from Uncalibrated Backscattered Echo Intensity Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The authors present an original method for the analysis of acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) echo intensity profiles measured in the ocean, especially when no calibration has been performed. This study is based on ...
Thermal Fronts Generated by Internal Waves Propagating Obliquely along the Continental Slope
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Rapid temperature falls occurring at semidiurnal periods are observed close to the bottom above the continental slope in the Bay of Biscay. Simultaneous current measurements reveal that the abrupt temperature decrease O(0.5 ...
A Note on the Role of Mean Flows in Doppler-Shifted Frequencies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he purpose of this paper is to resolve a confusion that may arise from two quite distinct definitions of ?Doppler shifts?: both are used in the oceanographic literature but they are sometimes conflated. One refers to the ...
Deep Caller for Ocean Acoustic Releases
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We relate about the custom-made modification of a Benthos deep-ocean acoustic release into a “deep caller,” an acoustic transducer for calling and releasing ocean acoustic transponding releases that cannot be reached from ...
Stratified Inertial Subrange Inferred from In Situ Measurements in the Bottom Boundary Layer of the Rockall Channel
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Deep-ocean high-resolution moored temperature data are analyzed with a focus on superbuoyant frequencies. A local Taylor hypothesis based on the horizontal velocity averaged over 2 h is used to infer horizontal wavenumber ...
Observations of Inertial Wave Events near the Continental Slope off Goban Spur
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Near-inertial waves were observed during the Ocean Margin Exchange (OMEX-I) experiments with current meters over the continental slope near Goban Spur. The strongest inertial motion was observed in the bottom layer, about ...
Half a Cubic Hectometer Mooring Array of 3000 Temperature Sensors in the Deep Sea
