Statistics of Surface Layer Turbulence over the Tropical Ocean

Creator:

Leavitt, E. and Paulson, C. A.

Abstract:

Atmospheric surface layer turbulent statistics measured during the Barbados Oceanographic and Meteorological Experiment 8 and 30 m above mean sea level are presented. The budget equations of turbulent kinetic energy, humility variance and temperature variance are examined. Within discussed limitations it is concluded that production equals dissipation in the case...

The Generation of Continental Shelf Waves by Alongshore Variations in Bottom Topography

Creator:

Martell, C. M. and Allen, J. S.

Abstract:

The effects of alongshore variations in bottom topography on wind-stress-forced barotropic motion over a continental shelf and slope are studied. An idealized channel model with a weakly sloping bottom and with small-amplitude alongshore variations in topography is utilized. Perturbation methods and numerical inversion of Fourier transforms are employed. The effect...

An Analysis of 20 Years of Meteorological and Oceanographic Data from Ocean Station N

Creator:

Dorman, Clive E., Paulson, C. A., and Quinn, W. H.

Abstract:

Meteorological and oceanographic data for Ocean Station Vessel N (30N, 14OW) are analyzed over 20 years (1951–70) and 7 years (1964–70), respectively. A rainfall estimate is constructed for the 20-year period. The yearly average rainfall is 23 cm, far less than existing estimates. Daily and seasonal variations are presented. Heat...
