  • Evolution of Turbulence, Heat Content, and Freshwater Lenses in the Diurnal Warm Layer

    Creator:
    Moulin, Aurélie J.
    Abstract:
    Thorough understanding of the mechanisms controlling the temperature structure in the surface mixed layer of the ocean and, in particular, accurate values of sea surface temperature are critical for properly parameterizing air-sea heat exchange and quantifying the amount of heat redistributed below the surface. It is however difficult to obtain...

  • The Occurrence of Coastal Sea Ice Leads and their Impact on the Beaufort Gyre

    Creator:
    Lewis, Benjamin J.
    Abstract:
    Leads are long fractures wide enough for a ship to travel through the ice pack. Sea ice acts as a barrier between the ocean and the atmosphere, whereas leads allow the transfer of heat and moisture between the two. Leads play a role for marine mammals and are hunting grounds...

  • Marine Low Clouds : Radiation, Turbulence, and Forecasting

    Creator:
    Verlinden, Kathryn L.
    Abstract:
    High-resolution ship-based observations of a nearly uniform stratocumulus deck in the southeast Pacific during 17 days of the 2008 VOCALS regional experiment elucidate radiation and turbulence in the marine boundary layer (MBL). A new method for prescribing observations-based cloud properties to the Rapid Radiative Transfer Model is presented and applied...

  • Analysis of Surface Heat Flux Anomalies to Understand Recent Northeast Pacific Marine Heatwave Events

    Creator:
    Yi-Wei, Chen
    Abstract:
    Several large-scale marine heatwave events occurred during the last 10 years in the North Pacific. A particular extreme marine heatwave in the North Pacific called the blob created an unprecedented high peak of sea surface temperature (SST) during 2013/14. MHW events had significant impacts on downstream weather and precipitation patterns...

  • Semidiurnal Atmospheric Tide Driven Superinertial Oscillation on the Texas-Louisiana Shelf

    Creator:
    Hsu, Fucent Hsuan Wei
    Abstract:
    Basin-scale superinertial oceanic tides have been observed globally to resonate with the continental shelf (e.g., the Patagonian Shelf) with a clear theoretical framework. However, the response of the shelf to atmospheric tides – another basin-scale forcing – has not been discussed. This study explores this response using a prominent S2...
