The behavior of different parameterizations of mixed layer physics when used in an oceanic general circulation model (OGCM) having coarse resolution of the upper ocean is examined. The method of parameterization is expected to have an important effect on the resulting sea surface temperature, and hence affect the model's overall...
We investigated sea level fluctuations at seven locations from San Francisco to Torino, British
Columbia, during a 2-year period beginning in August 1973. Using overlapping 2-month periods, we
found the alongshore correlation to vary with time and with location along the coast. In winter the
fluctuatioans are correlated along the...
