Mapping semi-regular autonomous underwater vehicle glider observations onto a cross-shelf section

Creator:

Peery, Andrew Tristan

Abstract:

Two Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Gliders have alternated continuous sampling of a 45-nautical mile transect line (the Newport Hydrographic Line) across the Oregon continental shelf since April, 2006. Strong currents (>25cm/s) push the gliders off their trajectories as they survey this transect line, preventing them from sampling the historically occupied stations...

Absolute water velocity profiles from glider-mounted acoustic doppler current profilers

Creator:

Ordonez, Christopher Edward

Abstract:

This paper details a method to compute absolute water velocity profiles from glider-based acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) measurements based on the "shear method" developed for lowered ADCPs. The instrument is a 614-kHz Teledyne RDI ADCP integrated into the body of a Teledyne Webb Research Slocum Glider. Shear is calculated...

The Role of Submesoscale Features in Transporting Heat and Salt Across Ocean Fronts

Creator:

Sanchez-Rios, Alejandra

Abstract:

The focus of this dissertation is the analysis of submesoscale and finescale features measured at oceanic fronts and the role they play in the transport of heat and salt. Two different geographical areas were used to analyze this transport: one, an area on the western side of the North Atlantic...
