Offshore wind forcing in the Gulf of Tehuantepec, Mexico: the asymmetric circulation

Creator:: Trasviña, A., Barton, E.D., Brown, J., Velez, H.S., Kosro, P. Michael, 1951-, and Smith, Robert L. (Robert Lloyd), 1935-
Abstract:: Since the early surveys carried out by the Eastern Tropical Pacific (EASTROPIC) and Scripps Tuna Oceanographic Research (STOR) projects in the tropical Pacific off Mexico, the northerly winds which blow over the Gulf of Tehuantepec were described as an Important factor controlling the dynamics of this coastal ocean. In January-February...

An assessment of phytoplankton primary productivity in the Arctic Ocean from satellite ocean color/in situ chlorophyll-a based models

Creator:: Lee, Younjoo J., Matrai, Patricia A., Friedrichs, Marjorie A. M., Saba, Vincent S., Antoine, David, Ardyna, Mathieu, Asanuma, Ichio, Babin, Marcel, Bélanger, Simon, Benoît‐Gagné, Maxime, Devred, Emmanuel, Fernández‐Méndez, Mar, Gentili, Bernard, Hirawake, Toru, Kang, Sung‐Ho, Kameda, Takahiko, Katlein, Christian, Lee, Sang H., Lee, Zhongping, Mélin, Frédéric, Scardi, Michele, Smyth, Tim J., Tang, Shilin, Turpie, Kevin R., Waters, Kirk J., and Westberry, Toby K.
Abstract:: We investigated 32 net primary productivity (NPP) models by assessing skills to reproduce integrated NPP in the Arctic Ocean. The models were provided with two sources each of surface chlorophyll-a concentration (chlorophyll), photosynthetically available radiation (PAR), sea surface temperature (SST), and mixed-layer depth (MLD). The models were most sensitive to...

Modeled ocean circulation in Nares Strait and its dependence on landfast-ice cover

Creator:: Shroyer, Emily L., Samelson, Roger M., Padman, Laurie, and Münchow, Andreas
Abstract:: Two simplified ocean simulations are used to study circulation and transport within Nares Strait. The simulations are similar, except that one included a coupled sea ice model that effectively established a landfast ice cover throughout the simulation year. Comparison between the ocean-only and ocean-ice simulations reveals a systematic change in...

The great 2012 Arctic Ocean summer cyclone enhanced biological productivity on the shelves

Creator:: Zhang, Jinlun, Ashjian, Carin, Campbell, Robert, Hill, Victoria, Spitz, Yvette H., and Steele, Michael
Abstract:: A coupled biophysical model is used to examine the impact of the great Arctic cyclone of early August 2012 on the marine planktonic ecosystem in the Pacific sector of the Arctic Ocean (PSA). Model results indicate that the cyclone influences the marine planktonic ecosystem by enhancing productivity on the shelves...

Location and dynamics of the Antarctic Polar Front from satellite sea surface temperature data

Creator:: Moore, J. Keith, Abbott, Mark R., and Richman, James G.
Abstract:: The location of the Antarctic Polar Front (PF) was mapped over a 7-year period (1987-1993) within images of satellite-deprived sea surface temperature. The mean path of the PF is strongly steered by the topographic features of the Southern Ocean. The topography places vorticity constraints on the dynamics of the PF...

Microwave backscattering from surf zone waves

Creator:: Catalán, Patricio A., Haller, Merrick C., and Plant, William J.
Abstract:: The microwave backscatter properties of surf zone waves are analyzed using field observations. By utilizing a preexisting, independent, water surface discrimination technique, the microwave returns were extracted along individual waveforms and the data from shoaling (steepening) waves, surf zone breaking waves, and remnant foam were separated and quantified. In addition,...

Field observations of the wave bottom boundary layer

Creator:: Foster, D. L., Beach, R. A., and Holman, Robert A.
Abstract:: This paper presents a comprehensive set of velocity and suspended sediment observations in the nearshore wave bottom boundary layer, collected during the Duck94 field experiment on the Outer Banks of the North Carolina coast. Cross-shore velocity measurements in the wave bottom boundary layer were made using five hot film anemometers,...

Biological production in the NE Pacific and its influence on air-sea CO2 flux: Evidence from dissolved oxygen isotopes and O2/Ar

Creator:: Juranek, L. W., Quay, P. D., Feely, R. A., Lockwood, D., Karl, D. M., and Church, M. J.
Abstract:: We determine rates of gross photosynthetic O₂ production (GOP) and net community O₂ production (NCP) using the triple oxygen isotope and O₂/Ar approach on two spring and two late summer meridional transects of the NE Pacific. Observed GOP and NCP in the subtropical (89 ± 9 and 8.3 ± 1.3...

Effects of the diurnal cycle in solar radiation on the tropical Indian Ocean mixed layer variability during wintertime Madden-Julian Oscillations

Creator:: Li, Yuanlong, Han, Weiqing, Shinoda, Toshiaki, Wang, Chunzai, Lien, Ren-Chieh, Moum, James N., and Wang, Jih-Wang
Abstract:: The effects of solar radiation diurnal cycle on intraseasonal mixed layer variability in the tropical Indian Ocean during boreal wintertime Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) events are examined using the HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model. Two parallel experiments, the main run and the experimental run, are performed for the period of 2005–2011 with...

Temporal variability of near-bottom dissolved oxygen during upwelling off central Oregon

Creator:: Adams, Katherine A., Barth, John A., and Chan, Francis
Abstract:: In the productive central-Oregon coastal upwelling environment, wind-driven upwelling, tides, and topographic effects vary across the shelf, setting the stage for varied biogeochemical responses to physical drivers. Current, temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen (DO) measurements from three moorings deployed during the upwelling seasons of 2009–2011 off the central-Oregon coast are...
