Mapping the U.S. West Coast surface circulation: A multiyear analysis of high‐frequency radar observations

Creator:

Kim, Sung Yong, Terrill, Eric J., Cornuelle, Bruce D., Jones, Burt, Washburn, Libe, Moline, Mark A., Paduan, Jeffrey D., Garfield, Newell, Largier, John L., Crawford, Greg, and Kosro, P. Michael

Abstract:

The nearly completed U.S. West Coast (USWC) high-frequency radar (HFR) network provides an unprecedented capability to monitor and understand coastal ocean dynamics and phenomenology through hourly surface current measurements at up to 1 km resolution. The dynamics of the surface currents off the USWC are governed by tides, winds, Coriolis...

Observations of near-inertial surface currents off Oregon: Decorrelation time and length scales

Creator:

Kim, Sung Yong and Kosro, P. Michael

Abstract:

High-resolution (km in space and hourly in time) surface currents observed by an array of high-frequency radars off Oregon are analyzed to quantify the decorrelation time and length scales of their near-inertial motions. The near-inertial surface currents are dominantly clockwise with amplitudes of 9-12 cm s⁻¹. However, they appear asymmetric...
