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...

Atmospheric boundary layer coupling to midlatitude mesoscale sea surface temperature anomalies

Creator:

Thum, Nicolai

Abstract:

This thesis examines the mechanisms that couple the monthly-averaged atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) to open-ocean sea surface temperature (SST) perturbations on scales of 50-500 km. The observed positive correlation between surface wind speed anomalies and SST anomalies is successfully simulated using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. In numerical...

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...
