Residual Flows in Cook Strait, a Large Tidally Dominated Strait
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: lows at subtidal frequencies are resolved from 20 months of current observations at multiple sites across the narrows of Cook Strait, New Zealand. The substantial tidal flows (spring tides >3 m s?1) are challenging to ...
Experimental and Numerical Study of the Turbulence Characteristics of Airflow around a Research Vessel
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Airflow distortion by research vessels has been shown to significantly affect micrometeorological measurements. This study uses an efficient time-dependent large-eddy simulation numerical technique to investigate the effect ...
Temperature Microstructure beneath Surface Gravity Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Oceanic turbulence very near the water surface controls heat, momentum, energy, and mass transfer at the air?sea interface. This study examines the use of a rising temperature microstructure profiler for determination of ...
Observations of Small-Scale Processes Associated with the Internal Tide Encountering an Island
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Current-meter, temperature, and microstructure observations of the large-amplitude internal tide shoaling on the continental shelf of the east coast of northern New Zealand show the complexity of the internal kinematics ...
