Objective Maps of Near-Surface Flow States near Point Conception, California

Dever, E. P. (American Meteorological Society, 2004-02)

Objective streamfunction and velocity potential maps of three commonly observed flow states near Point Conception, California, are derived from moored current-meter and drifter observations. The states are defined using ...
Oblique strike-slip faulting of the central Cascadia submarine forearc

Goldfinger, Chris; Kulm, LaVerne D.; Yeats, Robert S.; McNeill, Lisa; Hummon, Cheryl (American Geophysical Union, 1997-04-10)

At least nine WNW trending left-lateral strike-slip faults have been mapped on the Oregon-Washington continental margin using sidescan sonar, seismic reflection, and bathymetric data, augmented by submersible observation ...
Observation of playa salts as nuclei in orographic wave clouds

Pratt, Kerri A.; Twohy, Cynthia; Murphy, Shane M.; Moffet, Ryan C.; Heymsfield, Andrew J.; Gaston, Cassandra J.; DeMott, Paul J.; Field, Paul R.; Henn, Tobias R.; Rogers, David C.; Gilles, Mary K.; Seinfeld, John H.; Prather, Kimberly A. (American Geophysical Union, 2010-08-03)

During the Ice in Clouds Experiment‐Layer Clouds (ICE‐L), dry lakebed, or playa, salts from the Great Basin region of the United States were observed as cloud nuclei in orographic wave clouds over Wyoming. Using a coun ...
Observation of sound focusing and defocusing due to propagating nonlinear internal waves

Luo, J.; Badiey, M.; Karjadi, E. A.; Katsnelson, B.; Tskhoidze, A.; Lynch, J. F.; Moum, J. N. (Acoustical Society of America, 2009-09)

Fluctuations of the low frequency sound field in the presence of an internal solitary wave packet during the Shallow Water ’06 experiment are analyzed. Acoustic, environmental, and on-board ship radar image data were ...
Observational and theoretical studies of the dynamics of mantle plume-mid-ocean ridge interaction

Ito, G.; Lin, J.; Graham, David W. (American Geophysical Union, 2003-11-20)

Hot spot–mid-ocean ridge interactions cause many of the largest structural and chemical anomalies in Earth’s ocean basins. Correlated geophysical and geochemical anomalies are widely explained by mantle plumes that deliv ...
An Observational Estimate of Volume and Freshwater Flux Leaving the Arctic Ocean through Nares Strait

Munchow, Andreas; Melling, Humfrey; Falkner, Kelly K. (American Meteorological Society, 2006-11)

The Arctic Ocean is an important link in the global hydrological cycle, storing freshwater and releasing it to the North Atlantic Ocean in a variable fashion as pack ice and freshened seawater. An unknown fraction of thi ...
Observational studies of stable nocturnal boundary layers: intermittent turbulence, sensible heat budgets and observational errors

Nakamura, Reina (2005-02-04)

Atmospheric boundary layers become stably stratified at night over land when the surface becomes colder than the air layer above. In stable nocturnal boundary layers (SNBL), turbulence becomes weak and intermittent, terr ...
An observational study of the energetics and dynamical aspects of GATE cloud clusters

Wang, Jough-tai (1986-11-21)

Thermodynamical and dynamical aspects of tropical cloud clusters are studied using data from the GARP Atlantic Tropical Experiment (GATE). The data set used in this study is a three-dimensional gridded set of upper-ai ...
An observational study of the wind fields associated with GATE cloud clusters

Tollerud, Edward I. (1983-06-01)

The wind and thermodynamic fields associated with eastern Atlantic cloud clusters are studied using radiosonde data from the Global Atmospheric Research Program Atlantic Tropical Experiment (GATE). These data are from ...
Observations and analysis of ocean currents above 250 meters off the Oregon coast

Maughan, Paul M. (1963-05-15)
Observations and modeling of coastal internal waves driven by a diurnal sea breeze

Lerczak, James A.; Hendershott, M. C.; Winant, C. D. (American Geophysical Union, 2001-09-15)

During the Internal Waves on the Continental Margin (IWAVES) field experiments of 1996 and 1997 off of Mission Beach, California (32.75° N), we observed energetic, dirunal-band motions across the entire study site in wat ...
Observations and modelling of fronts and frontogenesis in the upper ocean

Samelson, Roger M. (1987-10-02)
Observations from CEAREX "O" Camp, Arctic Ocean, March-April 1989
