Minor and trace element chemistry of Lake Baikal, its tributaries, and surrounding hot springs

Creator:: Falkner, Kelly, Church, M., Measures, Chris I., LeBaron, G., Thouron, D., Jeandel, C., Stordal, M. C., Gill, G. A., Mortlock, R., Froelich, P., and Chan, L.-H.
Abstract:: A Russian–American fieldwork effort on Lake Baikal, its tributaries, and surrounding hot springs was undertaken in June–July 1991. Here we report on aspects of major ion (Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, Alk, Cl–, SO42–) and several minor and trace element (Li isotopes, Sr isotopes, Ba, Al, V, Cr, Ni, Cu, Ge,...

Occult cloudwater deposition to a forest in complex terrain : measurement and interpretation

Creator:: Kowalski, Andrew S.
Abstract:: Occult deposition is the direct uptake of cloudwater by vegetation that comes into physical contact with wind-driven cloud droplets. This can be a significant pathway for hydrological and chemical fluxes from the atmosphere to some forests. Methods for estimating cloudwater fluxes to forests are reviewed. Previous studies have neglected the...

Internal‐tide energy over topography

Creator:: Kelly, S. M., Nash, J. D., and Kunze, E.
Abstract:: The method used to separate surface and internal tides ultimately defines properties such as internal‐tide generation and the depth structure of internal‐tide energy flux. Here, we provide a detailed analysis of several surface‐/internal‐tide decompositions over arbitrary topography. In all decompositions, surface‐tide velocity is expressed as the depth average of total...

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...

Evaluating tradeoffs among ecosystem services to inform marine spatial planning

Creator:: Lester, Sarah E., Costello, Christopher, Halpern, Benjamin S., Gaines, Steven D., White, Crow, and Barth, John A.
Abstract:: A central challenge for natural resource management is developing rigorous yet practical approaches for balancing the costs and benefits of diverse human uses of ecosystems. Economic theory has a long history of evaluating tradeoffs in returns from different assets to identify optimal investment strategies. There has been recent progress applying...

Evolution of 1996-1999 La Niña and El Niño conditions off the western coast of South America: A remote sensing perspective

Creator:: Carr, Mary-Elena, Strub, P. Ted, Thomas, Andrew C., and Blanco, Jose Luis
Abstract:: We present the evolution of oceanographic conditions off the western coast of South America between 1996 and 1999, including the cold periods of 1996 and 1998–1999 and the 1997–1998 El Niño, using satellite observations of sea level, winds, sea surface temperature (SST), and chlorophyll concentration. Following a period of cold...

Instability and Diapycnal Momentum Transport in a Double-Diffusive, Stratified Shear Layer

Creator:: Smyth, William D. and Kimura, Satoshi
Abstract:: The linear stability of a double-diffusively stratified, inflectional shear flow is investigated. Double-diffusive stratification has little effect on shear instability except when the density ratio R[subscript]ρ is close to unity. Double-diffusive instabilities have significant growth rates and can represent the fastest-growing mode even in the presence of inflectionally unstable shear...

Variability in satellite winds over the Benguela upwelling system during 1999–2000

Creator:: Risien, Craig M., Reason, C. J. C., Shillington, F. A., and Chelton, Dudley B.
Abstract:: Wind stress variability over the Benguela upwelling system is considered using 16 months (01 August 1999 to 29 November 2000) of satellite-derived QuikSCAT wind data. Variability is investigated using a type of artificial neural network, the self-organizing map (SOM), and a wavelet analysis. The SOM and wavelet analysis are applied...

Tidally Forced Internal Waves and Overturns Observed on a Slope: Results from HOME

Creator:: Levine, Murray D. and Boyd, Timothy John, 1958-2013
Abstract:: Tidal mixing over a slope was explored using moored time series observations on Kaena Ridge extending northwest from Oahu, Hawaii, during the Survey component of the Hawaii Ocean Mixing Experiment (HOME). A mooring was instrumented to sample the velocity and density field of the lower 500 m of the water...
