  • Optics, structure and variability of the offshore Columbia River plume

    Creator:
    Saldías, Gonzalo
    Abstract:
    The Columbia River delivers the greatest amount of freshwater to the coastal ocean along the U.S. Pacific coast. This freshwater forms the Columbia River plume, a mesoscale plume with significant implications on coastal ocean physical, biological, chemical, and geological processes. The plume is transported south and offshore during the upwelling...

  • 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...
