An optimized design for a moored instrument array in the tropical Atlantic Ocean

Creator:: Hackert, Eric C., Miller, Robert N., and Busalacchi, Antonio J.
Abstract:: This paper presents a series of observing system simulation experiments (OSSEs) which are intended as a design study for a proposed array of instrumented moorings in the tropical Atlantic Ocean. Fields of TOPEX/Poseidon sea surface height anomalies are subsampled with the goal being reconstruction of the original fields through the...

Energy and heat fluxes due to vertically propagating Yanai waves observed in the equatorial Indian Ocean

Creator:: Smyth, W. D., Durland, T. S., and Moum, J. N.
Abstract:: Shipboard current measurements in the equatorial Indian Ocean in October and November of 2011 revealed oscillations in the meridional velocity with amplitude ~0.10 m/s. These were clearest in a layer extending from ~300 to 600 m depth and had periods near 3 weeks. Phase propagation was upward. Measurements from two...

Poleward propagating subinertial alongshore surface currents off the U.S. West Coast

Creator:: Kim, Sung Yong, Cornuelle, Bruce D., Terrill, Eric J., Jones, Burt, Washburn, Libe, Moline, Mark A., Paduan, Jeffrey D., Garfield, Newell, Largier, John L., Crawford, Greg, and Kosro, P. Michael
Abstract:: The network comprising 61 high-frequency radar systems along the U.S. West Coast (USWC) provides a unique, high resolution, and broad scale view of ocean surface circulation. Subinertial alongshore surface currents show poleward propagating signals with phase speeds of O(10) and O(100–300) km d⁻¹ that are consistent with historical in situ...

Spring plankton dynamics in the Eastern Bering Sea, 1971-2050: Mechanisms of interannual variability diagnosed with a numerical model

Creator:: Banas, Neil S., Zhang, Jinlun, Campbell, Robert G., Sambrotto, Raymond N., Lomas, Michael W., Sherr, Evelyn, Sherr, Barry, Ashjian, Carin, Stoecker, Diane, and Lessard, Evelyn J.
Abstract:: A new planktonic ecosystem model was constructed for the Eastern Bering Sea based on observations from the 2007–2010 BEST/BSIERP (Bering Ecosystem Study/Bering Sea Integrated Ecosystem Research Program) field program. When run with forcing from a data-assimilative ice-ocean hindcast of 1971–2012, the model performs well against observations of spring bloom time...

A new method for estimating the turbulent heat flux at the bottom of the daily mixed layer

Creator:: Imawaki, Shiro, Niiler, Pearn P., Gautier, Catherine H., Halpern, David, Knox, Robert A., Large, William G., Luther, Douglas S., McWilliams, James C., Moum, James N., and Paulson, Clayton A.
Abstract:: A new method is presented for estimating the vertical turbulent heat flux at the bottom of the daily mixed layer from the temperature data in the mixed layer and net solar irradiance data at the sea surface. We assume that fluctuations in the divergence of advective heat flux have longer...

The upper ocean internal wave field: Influence of the surface and mixed layer

Creator:: Levine, Murray D.
Abstract:: A model is developed to calculate the upper ocean internal wave spectrum as modified by the surface boundary and mixed layer. The Garrett‐Munk spectrum is assumed to describe the deep ocean wave field. The main effect of the surface and mixed layer is to align the vertical structure of the...

Forcing and variability of nonstationary rip currents

Creator:: Long, J. W. and Özkan-Haller, H. Tuba
Abstract:: urface wave transformation and the resulting nearshore circulation along a section of coast with strong alongshore bathymetric gradients outside the surf zone are modeled for a consecutive 4 week time period. The modeled hydrodynamics are compared to in situ measurements of waves and currents collected during the Nearshore Canyon Experiment...

What is the skill of ocean tracers in reducing uncertainties about ocean diapycnal mixing and projections of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation?

Creator:: Schmittner, Andreas, Tonkonojenkov, Roman, Urban, Nathan M., Goes, Marlos, Haran, Murali, and Keller, Klaus
Abstract:: Current projections of the oceanic response to anthropogenic climate forcings are uncertain. Two key sources of these uncertainties are (1) structural errors in current Earth system models and (2) imperfect knowledge of model parameters. Ocean tracer observations have the potential to reduce these uncertainties. Previous studies typically consider each tracer...

Intrathermocline eddies in the coastal transition zone off central Chile (31–41°S)

Creator:: Hormazabal, Samuel, Combes, Vincent, Morales, Carmen E., Correa-Ramirez, Marco A., Di Lorenzo, Emmanuel, and Nuñez, Sergio
Abstract:: The three-dimensional structure and the origin of mesoscale anticyclonic intrathermocline eddies (ITEs) in the coastal transition zone (CTZ) off central Chile (31–41°S) were analyzed through the combination of data from oceanographic cruises and satellite altimetry, and the application of an eddy-resolving primitive equation ocean model coupled with a numerical experiment...
