RISInternal Waves and Turbulence in the Deep Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Energy densities as a function of frequency of the vertical and relative horizontal velocities of water in the deep ocean as measured at clusters of neutrally buoyant floats are compared for different locations in the North ...
Laboratory Measurement of Heat Transfer and Thermal Structure Near an Air-Water Interface
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Experiments have been conducted in a wind-water tunnel to establish a quantitative relationship between wind profile parameters, heat flux through the air-water interface, and the temperature difference across the water ...
Variations in Aitken and Giant Nuclei in Marine Air
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the summer of 1970, Aitken nucleus counts were made nearly every day from atop a tower on the windward shore of Oahu, Hawaii. Contrary to expectations, the counts were not constant from one day to the next but ...
Hurricane Heat Potential of the Gulf of Mexico
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: It has been demonstrated that a large input of energy from the ocean is necessary to establish and maintain hurricane force winds over the sea. However, there has been no suitable data which could serve as a basis for ...
Interaction Subrange Spectra of Turbulent Wind Over an Air-Water Interface
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The nonlinear interaction of wave-induced air motion and the turbulent wind is examined in spectral space with the aid of a model developed through two averaging processes. The averaging periods are determined by the time ...
Spectra of Internal Waves: In-Situ Measurements in a Multiple-Layered Structure
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The persistence of layering between 200 and 400 m depth in the Arctic Ocean has enabled construction of accurate internal wave amplitude traces from a 30-hr series of successive temperature profiles taken at 4-min intervals. ...
Large-Scale Upwelling off Northwestern Mexico
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The seasonal variation of large-scale upwelling off northwestern Mexico is investigated by means of the divergence of the Ekman transport, computed for a 1° latitude-longitude grid. It is found, by using such a close grid, ...
Large-Scale Atmospheric Response to the 1964–65 Pacific Equatorial Warming
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Time series of surface winds and sea surface temperatures at Canton Island, covering the period 1962?67, are interpreted to show that the major changes in the temperature of the large central and eastern equatorial Pacific ...
The Coastal Boundary Layer in Lake Ontario. Part I: The Spring Regime
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Originally prompted by a desire to search for theoretically predicted ?coastal jets,? an extensive series of observations on currents in the coastal zone near Oshawa, in Lake Ontario, were carried out during 1969 and 1970. ...
Steady Coastal Upwelling in a Continuously Stratified Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Steady coastal upwelling driven by wind-stress and surface apparent temperature anomalies in a continuously stratified ocean of infinite depth is examined within the framework of a set of linearized hydrodynamic and ...
