Coastal Wind-Driven Circulation in the Vicinity of a Bank. Part II: Modeling Flow over the Heceta Bank Complex on the Oregon Coast

Creator:: Whitney, Michael M. and Allen, J. S.
Abstract:: This study investigates wind-driven circulation in the vicinity of the Heceta Bank complex along the Oregon shelf. Numerical experiments forced with steady winds (0.1 Pa) are conducted; upwelling and downwelling cases are compared. The asymmetric bank bathymetry is the only configurational difference from the symmetric bank runs analyzed in Part...

Coastal Wind-Driven Circulation in the Vicinity of a Bank. Part I: Modeling Flow over Idealized Symmetric Banks

Creator:: Whitney, Michael M. and Allen, J. S.
Abstract:: This study examines how coastal banks influence wind-driven circulation along stratified continental shelves. Numerical experiments are conducted for idealized symmetric banks; the standard bank (200 km long and 50 km wide) has dimensions similar to the Heceta Bank complex along the Oregon shelf. Model runs are forced with 10 days...

Distribution of membrane lipids of planktonic Crenarchaeota in the Arabian Sea

Creator:: Sinninghe Damsté, Jaap S., Rijpstra, W. Irene C., Hopmans, Ellen C., Prahl, Fredrick, Wakeham, Stuart G., and Schouten, Stefan
Abstract:: Intact core tetraether membrane lipids of marine planktonic Crenarchaeota were quantified in water column-suspended particulate matter obtained from four depth intervals (~70, 500, 1,000 and 1,500 m) at seven stations in the northwestern Arabian Sea to investigate the distribution of the organisms at various depths. Maximum concentrations generally occurred at...

Objective Determination of Feature Resolution in Two Sea Surface Temperature Analyses

Creator:: Reynolds, Richard W., Chelton, Dudley B., Roberts-Jones, Jonah, Martin, Matthew J., Menemenlis, Dimitris, and Merchant, Christopher John
Abstract:: Considerable effort is presently being devoted to producing high-resolution sea surface temperature (SST) analyses with a goal of spatial grid resolutions as low as 1 km. Because grid resolution is not the same as feature resolution, a method is needed to objectively determine the resolution capability and accuracy of SST...

Climate Sensitivity of the Community Climate System Model, Version 4

Creator:: Bitz, C. M., Shell, K. M., Gent, P. R., Bailey, D. A., Danabasoglu, G., Armour, K. C., Holland, M. M., and Kiehl, J. T.
Abstract:: Equilibrium climate sensitivity of the Community Climate System Model, version 4 (CCSM4) is 3.20 degrees C for 1 degrees horizontal resolution in each component. This is about a half degree Celsius higher than in the previous version (CCSM3). The transient climate sensitivity of CCSM4 at 1 degrees resolution is 1.72...

Energy Flux and Dissipation in Luzon Strait: Two Tales of Two Ridges

Creator:: Alford, Matthew H., MacKinnon, Jennifer A., Nash, Jonathan D., Simmons, Harper, Pickering, Andy, Klymak, Jody M., Pinkel, Robert, Sun, Oliver, Rainville, Luc, Musgrave, Ruth, Beitzel, Tamara, Fu, Ke-Hsien, and Lu, Chung-Wei
Abstract:: Internal tide generation, propagation, and dissipation are investigated in Luzon Strait, a system of two quasi-parallel ridges situated between Taiwan and the Philippines. Two profiling moorings deployed for about 20 days and a set of nineteen 36-h lowered ADCP-CTD time series stations allowed separate measurement of diurnal and semidiurnal internal...

Spatial and Temporal Variability of the M2 Internal Tide Generation and Propagation on the Oregon Shelf

Creator:: Osborne, J. J., Kurapov, A. L., Egbert, G. D., and Kosro, P. M.
Abstract:: A 1-km-horizontal-resolution model based on the Regional Ocean Modeling System is implemented along the Oregon coast to study average characteristics and intermittency of the M₂ internal tide during summer upwelling. Wind-driven and tidally driven flows are simulated in combination, using realistic bathymetry, atmospheric forcing, and boundary conditions. The study period...

Large-Scale Forcing of the Agulhas Variability: The Seasonal Cycle

Creator:: Matano, R. P., Beier, E. J., Strub, P. T., and Tokmakian, R.
Abstract:: In this article the authors examine the kinematics and dynamics of the seasonal cycle in the western Indian Ocean in an eddy-permitting global simulation [Parallel Ocean Circulation Model, model run 4C (POCM-4C)]. Seasonal changes of the transport of the Agulhas Current are linked to the large-scale circulation in the tropical...

Quality Control and Tilt Correction Effects on the Turbulent Fluxes Observed at an Ocean Platform

Creator:: Oh, Hyun-Mi, Kim, Kyung-Eak, Ha, Kyung-Ja, Mahrt, Larry, and Shim, Jae-Seol
Abstract:: This study investigates atmospheric factors influencing the quality and the postprocessing (e.g., tilt correction) of fast-response measurements of turbulent fluxes for difficult open-sea measurements over an offshore platform. The data were collected at the Ieodo Ocean Research Station over the Yellow Sea during the period from 5 November 2007 to...

Variation of Surface Air Temperature in Complex Terrain

Creator:: Mahrt, L.
Abstract:: Data from three micronetworks with eddy correlation data and three additional micronetworks without eddy correlation data are analyzed to study the spatial variability of surface air temperature in complex terrain. A simple similarity relationship is constructed to relate the spatial variation of air temperature along the slope to the thermal...
