The results of measurements of the fluxes of momentum, moisture and sensible heat in the marine boundary layer are described.
Two techniques for obtaining the fluxes are discussed. The fluxes
of these quantities are mo ...
The perturbation of a stably-stratified flow by irregular
terrain is studied utilizing a seven-layer, hydrostatic, and
potential enstrophy and energy conserving primitive equation
model. The Island of Oahu, Hawaii, an ...
Measurements of the fluctuations of humidity, temperature
and velocity were made in the marine boundary layer. The humidity
fluctuations were measured with a Lyman-alpha humidiometer.
Temperature fluctuations were mea ...

Recent studies have found that equatorial Atlantic sea surface temperature (SST) variability may be influencing tropical Indian Ocean climate (Kucharski 2009, Wang 2009). Due to the economic and social impact of tropical ...
Spectral analysis was used to investigate semidaily mean sea
levels and atmospheric pressures at San Francisco, California,
Coos Bay, Oregon, and Tofino, British Columbia, in the frequency
band 0 to 0.5 cpd. Cross spe ...

Under light wind conditions, the alternation of daytime
heating and nighttime cooling creates a characteristic
response in the oceanic boundary layer known as the diurnal
cycle. The Mellor/Yamada Level II turbulence c ...
The weather pattern and trends associated with heat flux events (HFEs) over the Gulf Stream (GS) are examined as part of the CLIMODE project. A large portion of GS turbulent heat loss occurs during distinct synoptic scal ...
