  • Surface wind modification near mid-latitude ocean fronts : observational and dynamical analysis

    Creator:
    O'Neill, Larry W.
    Abstract:
    Interactions between surface winds and meanders in mid-latitude sea surface temperature (SST) fronts with horizontal length scales of 100-1000 km are investigated from satellite observations and numerical simulations. Observations from the Sea- Winds scatterometer on the QuikSCAT satellite show that the magnitude, direction, curl, and divergence of the surface wind...
