Creator:: Higgins, Chad W.
Abstract:: The residual of the surface energy budget is represented as the linearized sum of energy losses due to storage, advection and flux underestimation. Individual contributions to the residual can be quantified through constrained multiple linear regression which identifies the site specific processes that are responsible for the lack of energy...

Creator:: Mote, Philip W.
Abstract:: Observations of snow water equivalent (SWE) in the Pacific Northwest are examined and compared with variability and trends in temperature and precipitation at nearby climate stations. At most locations, especially below about 1800 m, substantial declines in SWE coincide with significant increases in temperature, and occur in spite of increases...

Creator:: Mote, Philip W.
Abstract:: A previous comparison of data from the Halogen Occultation Experiment (HALOE) and of output from the NCAR Community Climate Model (CCM2) in austral spring overstated the effect of dehydration in the southern polar vortex on lower strato spheric water vapor in part due to shortcomings in the HALOE retrieval algorithm...

Creator:: Twohy, Cynthia and Gandrud, Bruce W.
Abstract:: Ice crystal larger than about 5 μm diameter were separated from interstitial particles in aircraft contrails and evaporated. Residual particles larger than 0.1 μm were analyzed by electron microscopy. Soot, metals, and volatile organic substances, apparently from the aircraft exhaust, were found. However, the residual particles also contained high percentages...

Creator:: Denbo, D. W. and Allen, John S.
Abstract:: The response of alongshore currents V over the continental shelf and of coastal sea level ζ along the Pacific coast of North America to atmospheric forcing on large alongshore scales (100-2000 km) during May-July 1981 (Coastal Ocean Dynamics Experiment (CODE) 1) and May-July 1982 (CODE 2) has been studied using...

Creator:: Collier, Robert W. and Lilley, Marvin D.
Abstract:: Methane reservoirs and seeps are an active component of the continental margin carbon budget and represent a poorly characterized pathway for reduced carbon cycling and methane input to the atmosphere. Active gas seeps from three shelf settings on the Cascadia Continental Margin off Oregon and Northern California contain nearly pure...

Creator:: Mote, Philip W. and Mantua, Nathan J.
Abstract:: Coastal upwelling helps set the physical context for marine ecosystems, and upwelling zones are among the most productive regions of the global ocean. Unlike earlier models, two state‐of‐the‐art climate models exhibit little change during the next century in the magnitude and seasonality of coastal upwelling, but climate models are still...

Creator:: Smyth, W. D. and Moum, J. N.
Abstract:: Deep cycle mixing in the cold tongue of the equatorial Pacific Ocean is associated with a mean flow regime in which the gradient Richardson number Ri (a ratio of stratification to shear that affects the evolution of turbulence) fluctuates about a critical value near 1/4. This is the state of...

Abstract:: Submarine landslides are an important process in volcano growth yet are rarely observed and poorly understood. We show that landslides occur frequently in association with the eruption of West Mata volcano in the NE Lau Basin. These events are identifiable in hydroacoustic data recorded between ~5 and 20 km from...

Creator:: Mote, Philip W., Rosenlof, Karen H., Holton, James R., Harwood, Robert S., and Waters, Joe W.
Abstract:: Measurements of stratospheric water vapor by the Microwave Limb Sounder aboard the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite show that in the tropical lower stratosphere, low‐frequency variations are closely related to the annual cycle in tropical tropopause temperatures. Tropical stratospheric air appears to retain information about the tropopause conditions it encountered for...
