An empirical statistical model relating winds and ocean surface currents : implications for short-term current forecasts

Creator:: Zelenke, Brian Christopher
Abstract:: An empirical statistical model is developed that relates the non-tidal motion of the ocean surface currents off the Oregon coast to forecasts of the coastal winds. The empirical statistical model is then used to produce predictions of the surface currents that are evaluated for their agreement with measured currents. Measurements...

Observing the coastal ocean with HF radar

Creator:: O'Keefe, Sheila
Abstract:: Coastal-based high-frequency (HF) radar systems are an increasingly used tool for measuring surface currents in the coastal ocean. These systems provide a spatial and temporal resolution not achievable with other methods. Standard-range sites typically generate hourly maps of surface currents on a 2km grid extending approximately 50km from shore while...

Kinematics and Dynamics of a Model Eastern-boundary Poleward Undercurrent

Creator:: Duran, Rodrigo
Abstract:: A carefully calibrated primitive-equation model from 41°N to 48°N is used to study the poleward undercurrent off the US west coast. Chapter 2 describes poleward flow over the slope from Eulerian and Lagrangian perspectives. The model is robust, in the sense of several characteristics being qualitatively consistent with observational and...

The M₂ Internal Tide off Oregon: Inferences from Data Assimilation

Creator:: Kurapov, Alexander L., Egbert, Gary D., Allen, J. S., Miller, Robert N., Erofeeva, Svetlana Y., and Kosro, P. M.
Abstract:: A linearized baroclinic, spectral-in-time tidal inverse model has been developed for assimilation of surface currents from coast-based high-frequency (HF) radars. Representer functions obtained as a part of the generalized inverse solution show that for superinertial flows information from the surface velocity measurements propagates to depth along wave characteristics, allowing internal...

Enhanced southward flow over the Oregon shelf in 2002: a conduit for subarctic water

Creator:: Kosro, P. Michael, 1951-
Abstract:: Moored current measurements from the Oregon shelf during 1998–2003 are used to estimate time series of anomalous alongshore currents and pseudo-displacements, after accounting for the mean and seasonal cycle. From early January through mid-June, 2002, currents at 10 m were anomalously strong toward the south by an average 12 cm/s,...

On the spatial structure of coastal circulation off Newport, Oregon, during spring and summer 2001 in a region of varying shelf width

Creator:: Kosro, P. Michael, 1951-
Abstract:: A time series of hourly surface current maps in the shelf waters off Newport, Oregon, was made during April–September 2001 using five SeaSonde HF current mappers, during Coastal Advances in Shelf Transport (COAST). The surface currents responded rapidly to the changing winds, in repeated patterns that were strongly affected by...

Structure of the coastal current field off Northern California during the coastal ocean dynamics experiment

Creator:: Kosro, P. Michael, 1951-
Abstract:: For 74 days during the spring and summer upwelling seasons of 1981 and 1982, in conjunction with the Coastal Ocean Dynamics Experiment, profiles of upper ocean currents were collected in the waters over the shelf and slope off northern California using a shipboard Doppler acoustic log. These measurements provide detailed...

Equatorward jets and poleward undercurrents along the eastern boundary of the mid-latitude north Pacific

Creator:: Pierce, Stephen D.
Abstract:: We sharpen our view of an eastern boundary current region during the upwelling season through the analysis of several data sets. We focus on the mesoscale flow field off of northern California, observed during the Coastal Transition Zone (CTZ) experiment of 1988. First, we estimate tidal currents in the region...
