Creator:: Lyman, John M.
Abstract:: A linearized model with two vertical modes has been developed to understand observed characteristics of monthly variability in the Equatorial Pacific from TOPEX/POSEIDON measurements of Sea Surface Height (SSH). The 2-mode model is obtained from an equatorial beta plane model that has been linearized about a geostrophically balanced mean flow...

Creator:: O'Neill, Larry W.
Abstract:: Interactions between surface winds and meanders in mid-latitude sea surface temperature (SST) fronts with horizontal length scales of 100-1000 km are investigated from satellite observations and numerical simulations. Observations from the Sea- Winds scatterometer on the QuikSCAT satellite show that the magnitude, direction, curl, and divergence of the surface wind...

Full Text:: contributions to this research. Michael Schlax has provided data files for the satellite wind and SST fields

Creator:: Pierce, Stephen D.
Abstract:: We sharpen our view of an eastern boundary current region during the upwelling season through the analysis of several data sets. We focus on the mesoscale flow field off of northern California, observed during the Coastal Transition Zone (CTZ) experiment of 1988. First, we estimate tidal currents in the region...

Creator:: Gaube, Peter
Abstract:: The influence of mesoscale ocean eddies on near-surface ocean temperature, surface stress and phytoplankton communities is investigated by collocating numerous satellite measurements along with vertical profiles of oceanic temperature and salinity to the interiors of eddies identified and tracked in altimetric sea surface height maps. The surface currents associated with...

Full Text:: role model and a friend, for this I’m grateful. My committee, Michael Behrenfeld, Ricardo Letelier

Creator:: Perez, Renellys Christine
Abstract:: Numerical model and assimilation experiments were conducted in the tropical Pacific Ocean to obtain a better understanding of the processes that control the cold tongue surface mixed layer temperature balance during August 1999 to July 2004. The numerical model was first applied to test two hypotheses (asymmetric background currents and...

Creator:: Mazzini, Piero Luigi Fernandes
Abstract:: Freshwater provided from river discharge influences the dynamics and circulation of most continental shelves around the world. It has profound effects on the transport and fate of materials and substances originated from rivers and estuaries, as well as on the ocean biogeochemistry and marine ecosystems. The effect of buoyancy forcing...
