The cross-equatorial structure of tropical instability waves in sea surface height

Creator:: Lyman, John M.
Abstract:: A linearized model with two vertical modes has been developed to understand observed characteristics of monthly variability in the Equatorial Pacific from TOPEX/POSEIDON measurements of Sea Surface Height (SSH). The 2-mode model is obtained from an equatorial beta plane model that has been linearized about a geostrophically balanced mean flow...

Calibration of the Nimbus-7 scanning multichannel microwave radiometer (SMMR), 1979-1984

Creator:: Francis, Erika A.
Abstract:: Six years of Nimbus-7 Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer (SMMR) data from 1979 to 1984 are recalibrated at the radiometric level. New statistical techniques are developed to quantify the temporal and orbital data errors and to generate numerical corrections for brightness temperatures prior to estimation of geophysical parameters. The foundations of...

Unstable jet flow along zonal ridge topography

Creator:: Witter, Donna Lynn
Abstract:: Motivated by observations of locally enhanced sea level variability near steep topographic slopes in regions of strong time-mean flows, effects of zonal ridge topography on zonal oceanic jet flow are investigated. Unstable wave properties and the dynamics of eddy-mean flow interaction are evaluated as a function of topographic geometry using...

Seasonal variability of zooplankton off the California coast : box model approach

Creator:: Barnard, Andrew Heath
Abstract:: In an effort to elucidate the mechanism responsible for large-scale zooplankton variability in the California Current, zooplankton biomass and hydrographic data from the California Cooperative Fisheries Investigation data set and wind data from Fleet Numerical Oceanography Center model analyses have been used to construct a box model biomass budget. The...

Zooplankton variability in the California current, 1951-1982

Creator:: Roesler, Collin Stevens
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: advisors, Dudley Chelton and Tim Cowles for helping me to bridge the gap between physics and biology

Satellite observations of the inﬂuence of mesoscale ocean eddies on near-surface temperature, phytoplankton and surface stress

Creator:: Gaube, Peter
Abstract:: The influence of mesoscale ocean eddies on near-surface ocean temperature, surface stress and phytoplankton communities is investigated by collocating numerous satellite measurements along with vertical profiles of oceanic temperature and salinity to the interiors of eddies identified and tracked in altimetric sea surface height maps. The surface currents associated with...

A satellite-derived climatology of global ocean winds

Creator:: Risien, Craig Miller
Abstract:: A satellite-derived Climatology of Global Ocean Winds (COGOW) on a 0.5° latitude by 0.5° latitude grid is presented based on 5-years (August 1999 July 2004) of measurements from the SeaWinds scatterometer that was launched on 19 June 1999 onboard the QuikSCAT satellite. SeaWinds is an active microwave radar that estimates...
