Ocean surface wind divergence and vorticity co-variability and statistical differences between QuikSCAT and ERA5

Creator:: Jacobs, Robert
Abstract:: I examine the strong co-variability between the surface divergence and vorticity and how it varies with latitude in the Pacific Ocean using surface vector winds from reanalysis and satellite scatterometer observations. This analysis was motivated in part by a significant correlation between divergence and vorticity over the global oceans that...

The spatial-scale dependence of the observed anisotropy of reflected and emitted radiation

Creator:: Ye, Qian
Abstract:: The Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) uses Angular Dependence Models (ADMs) to convert satellite observed radiances to radiative fluxes at the top of the atmosphere. Owing to errors in scene identification and to the relationship between the spatial scales of cloud systems and the spatial resolution of the ERBE scanner,...

Vertical Coastal Trapped Wave Propagation Produced by a Subsurface Ridge

Creator:: Dhage, Laxmikant
Abstract:: The vertical propagation of Coastal Trapped Waves (CTWs) due to subsurface ridges is explored with the help of linear numerical and analytical models. Results show that submerged ridges projecting from the shoreline can scatter a horizontally propagating single baroclinic mode Kelvin wave into both upward and downward propagating Kelvin wave...

Modeling Transport, Retention, and Growth of Early Life Stages of Small Pelagic Fishes in the Southern Humboldt System

Creator:: Gomez, Fabian A.
Abstract:: Small pelagic fishes (SPF), such as anchovies and sardines, are ecologically important due to their large abundance and intermediate trophic position that links plankton production to upper trophic levels. They are also economically important, supporting large fisheries that contribute to one fourth of the world fish landings. Reproductive success in...

Properties of semitransparent upper-level clouds deduced from multispectral imagery data

Creator:: Lin, Xijian
Abstract:: A multispectral retrieval method is developed on the 100 km regional scale to extract the temperature, particle size, fractional cover and 11-μm emissivity of clouds which may be semitransparent in the infrared based on emitted radiances. The scheme utilizes the nonlinear relationship between emitted radiances when clouds are semitransparent and...

Modeling studies of ocean circulation using inverse methods and bifurcation theory

Creator:: Vernieres, Guillaume
Abstract:: We present a study of the ocean circulation using state of the art numerical and data assimilation techniques. The second chapter of the thesis presents the development and application of generalized inversion to a simple dynamical model of Lake Kinneret. The intent was to develop the necessary tools to implement...

Oceanographic conditions around the Galápagos Archipelago and their influence on cetacean community structure

Creator:: Palacios, Daniel Mauricio
Abstract:: The objectives of this dissertation were to describe the complex oceanographic conditions around the Galápagos Archipelago (eastern equatorial Pacific), their seasonal variability, and their effects on patterns of cetacean occurrence. The physical and ecological factors leading to a plume of high phytoplankton biomass in the wake of the Galápagos were...

The South Atlantic Ocean response to local and remote forcings

Creator:: Fetter Filho, Antonio F. H.
Abstract:: The local and remote sources of variability of the South Atlantic Ocean are investigated using a set of numerical experiments and satellite data. A global, eddy-permitting, numerical simulation is analyzed to investigate the dynamical links between the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) and the Malvinas Current (MC). The model results indicate...

Variability in mesoscale circulation and its effects on zooplankton distribution in the Northern California Current

Creator:: Keister, Julie Eileen
Abstract:: In eastern boundary current upwelling ecosystems, mesoscale circulation features such as eddies and upwelling filaments play a prominent role in the transfer of water and the associated plankton from the productive nearshore to the oligotrophic deep sea. The relationship between mesoscale circulation, zooplankton distributions, and the across-shelf transport of coastal...
