Michael, Kilcher, L. K., Homer-Devine, A. R., Zaron, E. D., McCabe, R. M., Peterson, J. O., Orton, P. M., Pan, J., and Lohan, M. C.
Abstract:: River Influences on Shelf Ecosystems (RISE) is the first comprehensive interdisciplinary study of the rates and dynamics governing the mixing of river and coastal waters in an eastern boundary current system, as well as the effects of the resultant plume on phytoplankton standing stocks, growth and grazing rates, and community...

Wetland‐estuarine‐shelf interactions in the Plum Island Sound and Merrimack River in the Massachusetts coast

Creator:: Zhao, Liuzhi, Chen, Changsheng, Vallino, Joe, Hopkinson, Charles, Beardsley, Robert C., Lin, Huichan, and Lerczak, Jim
Abstract:: Wetland‐estuarine‐shelf interaction processes in the Plum Island Sound and Merrimack River system in the Massachusetts coast are examined using the high‐resolution unstructured grid, finite volume, primitive equations, coastal ocean model. The computational domain covers the estuarine and entire intertidal area with a horizontal resolution of 10–200 m. Driven by five...

Near‐surface dynamics of a separated jet in the coastal transition zone off Oregon

Creator:: Koch, A. O., Kurapov, A. L., and Allen, J. S.
Abstract:: Three‐dimensional circulation in the coastal transition zone (CTZ) off Oregon is studied using a 3 km resolution model based on the Regional Ocean Modeling System. The study period is spring and summer 2002, when extensive observations were available from the northeastern Pacific component of the Global Ocean Ecosystems Dynamics project....

Structure, variability, and salt flux in a strongly forced salt wedge estuary

Creator:: Ralston, David K., Geyer, W. Rockwell, and Lerczak, James A.
Abstract:: The tidally varying circulation, stratification, and salt flux mechanisms are investigated in a shallow salt wedge estuary where fluvial and tidal velocities are large and the steady baroclinic circulation is comparatively weak. The study integrates field observations and numerical simulations of the Merrimack River estuary. At moderate to high discharge...

Evidence of nitric acid uptake in warm cirrus anvil clouds during the NASA TC4 campaign

Creator:: Scheuer, Eric, Dibb, Jack E., Twohy, Cynthia, Rogers, David C., Heymsfield, Andrew J., and Bansemer, Aaron
Abstract:: Uptake ofHNO₃ onto cirrus ice may play an important role in tropospheric NOx cycling. Discrepancies between modeled and in situ measurements of gas‐phase HNO₃ in the troposphere suggest that redistribution and removal mechanisms by cirrus ice have been poorly constrained. Limited in situ measurements have provided somewhat differing results and...

Does hydrologic circulation mask frictional heat on faults after large earthquakes?

Creator:: Fulton, Patrick M., Harris, Robert N., Saffer, Demian M., and Brodsky, Emily E.
Abstract:: Knowledge of frictional resistance along faults is important for understanding the mechanics of earthquakes and faulting. The clearest in situ measure of fault friction potentially comes from temperature measurements in boreholes crossing fault zones within a few years of rupture. However, large temperature signals from frictional heating on faults have...

Evaporative dense water formation and cross‐shelf exchange over the northwest Australian inner shelf

Creator:: Shearman, R. Kipp and Brink, Kenneth H.
Abstract:: High‐resolution surveys of oceanographic and atmospheric conditions made during the winter over the inner shelf off northwest Australia are used to examine the coastal ocean response to large outgoing heat and freshwater fluxes. Relatively cool, low‐humidity air blows off the Australian continent out over the tropical continental shelf, resulting in...

Data assimilation and bathymetric inversion in a two‐dimensional horizontal surf zone model

Creator:: Wilson, G. W., Özkan-Haller, H. Tuba, and Holman, R. A.
Abstract:: A methodology is described for assimilating observations in a steady state twodimensional horizontal (2‐DH) model of nearshore hydrodynamics (waves and currents), using an ensemble‐based statistical estimator. In this application, we treat bathymetry as a model parameter, which is subject to a specified prior uncertainty. The statistical estimator uses state augmentation...

Heat and salt balances over the New England continental shelf, August 1996 to June 1997

Creator:: Lentz, S. J., Shearman, R. K., and Plueddemann, A. J.
Abstract:: Heat and salt balances over the New England shelf are examined using 10 month time series of currents, temperature, and salinity from a four element moored array and surface heat and freshwater fluxes from a meteorological buoy. A principal result is closure of the heat budget to 10 W m−2....

Long‐term monitoring of ULF electromagnetic fields at Parkfield, California

Creator:: Kappler, K. N., Morrison, H. Frank, and Egbert, G. D.
Abstract:: Electric and magnetic fields in the (10−4–1.0) Hz band were monitored at two sites adjacent to the San Andreas Fault near Parkfield and Hollister, California, from 1995 to 2007. A data window (2002–2005), enclosing the 28 September 2004 M6 Parkfield earthquake, was analyzed to determine if anomalous electric or magnetic...
